Communicating in Stroke Care and Rehabilitation

COM-STAR is an NIHR funded research project in the UK, running March 2024 to February 2027. COM-STAR is for all members of the multidisciplinary team in stroke.

[National Institute for Health and Care Research @NIHRresearch]

Today we've launched a new requirement that all applicants must demonstrate how their research will address existing inequalities in health and social care as a condition of funding. Applicants will now be required to show how inclusion is being built into all stages of the research lifecycle. https://t.co/765hxygjRD

I've only been working with the stroke community for a little over a year - each time, i'm struck by their passion, committment, and incredible dedication to supporting stroke survivors in their recovery. I want to start there because i think it would tell only half the story...

Never compromise or lose your values, never forget why we do what we do. And seek out your tribe!

[Rachael Jones 💙 @Rachaelstroke]

Mentoring and coaching are different things but both important if you want truly want to develop your leadership abilities.

Had a reflective journey home from GIRFT stroke course, the value of peer support and friendship should never be underestimated my cup is very nearly full! A safe place is key to letting go and developing yourself and change fatigue is a real thing! @Deborah71247971 @lisakidd22

Half of respondents worry about having another stroke. This can leave people feel exhausted physically and emotionally. Brain responds to threat and our beliefs that we are not safe.

[Stroke Association @TheStrokeAssoc]

Our Stroke Support Helpline is now even more accessible! 📞

Thanks to our recent partnership with SignVideo by Sorenson, every stroke survivor who is deaf or hard of hearing can contact our Stroke Support Helpine via video call, supported by a BSL interpreter. 📺
