Referenced publications

We are committed to producing clear, accurate and unbiased information for stroke survivors and their families and friends. Our publications cover a breadth of information which can include details of medical procedures and drugs; rehabilitation therapies; health promotion; statistics; regulations; and contact details for useful organisations.

We do not conduct in depth research ourselves, but rely on professional bodies and other reliable sources to produce our information. These include:

organisations such as the Royal College of Physicians who produce Guidelines for care after stroke and Transient Ischaemic Attack
reputable summaries of evidence-based research such as from the Cochrane Library or NHS Clinical Knowledge Summaries
reputable medical journals subscribed to by The Stroke Association for example BMJ, The Lancet, Stroke and Clinical Rehabilitation
reputable medical text books such as the British Medical Association’s New Guide to Medicines and Drugs and The Merck Manuals series.

As each leaflet, factsheet or resource sheet is reviewed, a referenced version of the publication will be listed on this page for download. If you have any comments or questions about these references, please contact info@stroke.org.uk
