Stroke Networks

"Networks for stroke have real potential to improve the way that services are planned and delivered for both individuals with stroke and staff... Organisations join networks because they can do what they need to do more effectively together than if they operate alone." (National Stroke Strategy 2007)

Effective networks improve care for patients: Networks encompass the whole stroke pathway by connecting different organisations and teams involved along the patients journey, so individuals experience co-ordinated management from the first contact which extends to lifelong support as a stroke survivor. Networks involve stroke survivors and carers as active partners in coordinating and supporting service development.
