Most Improved Stroke Service

The Stroke Association Life After Stroke Awards are held each year to celebrate the courage and determination of stroke survivors in overcoming the physical, emotional and communication difficulties as a result of stroke.

Additionally, the awards have a range of categories that also recognise and celebrate the work of individual health and social care professionals, volunteers, clubs and carers.

The awards have been successful in highlighting the improvements that have been made to stroke services that have benefited the lives of stroke survivors.

This year we are pleased to announce that the Life After Stroke Awards include a new category enabling us to recognise the Most Improved Stroke Service. The award will be presented at the Life After Stroke Awards ceremony at Claridge's on 15 June.

If you feel your Stroke Service deserves to win this prestigious award please nominate them!
