I am biased but, nonetheless, I can commend the latest National Stroke Guideline. https://t.co/FeUKmHpINd

We are still trying to recruit employers (line managers, Human Resources and Occupational Health representatives) who have supported someone to #ReturnToWorkAfterStroke! Please DM us or @KathrynEPowers for further information if you think you might be able to help. Thank you!

Rehabilitation should not be seen as a luxury healthcare service.

Complex issues require specialist skills and adequate resources.

Rising levels of unmet rehab needs have knock-on consequences on health & social care systems.

Rehabilitation is an investment.
