Charity No. 1092168
Different Strokes welcomes the draft consultation for the national stroke strategy, and we would like as many people as possible who have been affected by stroke (such as stroke survivors, carers, family members and professionals) to respond to it.
Different Strokes' Trustees, staff and volunteers plan to review the strategy jointly and provide the Department of Health with our comments. The volunteers who run our regional groups will be included in this process and will be encouraged to feedback their comments to us as well as to the Department of Health.
The strategy will form the basis for future policymaking decisions about the care of stroke patients, so if you've been affected by stroke, make sure your views are heard by reviewing the draft strategy and commenting on it.
Different Strokes have copies available by emailing info@differentstrokes.co.uk, by post, by calling our Helpline 0845 130 7172, or by downloading from our website using this link. There are 'easy to read' versions available to those who require them. You can find more information about the consultation process and the stroke strategy from the Department of Health website: www.dh.gov.uk/stroke.
