Stroke Research in Scotland

The Stroke Association

The Stroke Association has provided over £2.3 million for research in Scotland over the last 13 years. 

This research has been into the prevention and treatment of stroke and better methods of rehabilitation.

Scottish Stroke Research Network

The Scottish Stroke Research Network is steered by an Executive Group which aims to include key stroke researchers in Scotland, plus representatives from the Chief Scientists Office and Chest, Heart and Stroke Scotland.

Database of Research Into Stroke (DORIS)

The Database Of Research In Stroke is a three year project which aims to develop a web-based database which provides easy access to current best evidence for health professionals, a focused collaborative view of priorities for future research, and which facilitates a collaborative approach to research activity. 

Stroke Research Priorities Setting project

An exciting project which has given stroke survivors, carers and health professionals an equal voice in identifying priorities for future stroke research has recently been completed. This project appears to have ‘gone the extra mile’ to ensure involvement of stroke survivors and carers, regardless of stroke impairments or geographical location.

Under the management of the James Lind Alliance (an alliance including The Stroke Association in Scotland), stroke survivors, carers and health professionals were asked what their top research priorities would be for life after stroke.
