It is recommended that all stroke patients receive a comprehensive review 6 months after their stroke. In Greater Manchester, these assessments are undertaken either by the local community neuro-rehabilitation team or via the Stroke Association who have been commissioned to carry them out.
All providers of 6 month reviews in our region use the Greater Manchester Stroke Assessment Tool, which was updated and re-launched in December 2018. You can download the notes for reviewers here.
Our teams are also currently collecting additional data on reviews to help us understand the unmet needs of patients. We also recently undertook training with our teams and you can download additional resources below.
You can watch a National Stroke Programme webinar on conducting effective reviews involving our Community Director Tracy Walker here.
Slides from our training event are available for download with embedded documents and links.
