Back to a Life after Stroke - report now available

Stroke survivors are not receiving the vital speech and language therapy and other communication support services they need to help them get Back to a Life after their stroke.

This is the disturbing finding of the Back to a Life after Stroke Consortium following a recent survey involving 280 people across Scotland who have communication difficulties after a stroke. To find out more, you can download the the Back to a Life media release and the survey report using the links provided on the right of this page

You can also get involved in the Back to a Life after stroke campaign by writing to your local MSP and Health Board in support of the campaign.

The Back to a Life campaign ties in with The Stroke Association's Lost without Words UK wide campaign to highlight the problems faced by people affected by communication difficulties following stroke and the need to ensure that they get access to the services they need to support their recovery.
