Work in partnership with stroke survivors and care providers to influence and develop stroke services.
Ensure that stroke survivors receive timely, efficient access to consistent and co-ordinated stroke services.
Enable fellow stroke survivors and carers to provide practical support and easily understood information to stroke survivors and their carers in the weeks following discharge from hospital.
Allow for opportunities for peer support which will enable and empower individuals, especially in relation to rebuilding the confidence that many people with stroke lose. 1
The aim is to achieve a good quality of life for individuals, their carers and relatives, and to support independent living.2
