Strokers' Survey 2007


A questionnaire to find out the needs of Stroke Survivors (Strokers) and their carers was circulated via GP's and Stroke Groups (Spring 2007).

The main objectives were to find out what the real needs of strokers and their carers are after the stroker leaves hospital and is back in the community, and to use the results to influence the various Health organisations in the area to target resources at these real needs.

The survey was conducted (as part of a research project) through the University of Nottingham's School of Community Health Sciences.

Participants were contacted through their GPs (or Stroke Group)

Our intention is to put pressure on policy makers to take note of the results and implement policies to address them - you never know!
