Last week, our lecturers attended two training days at our head office, at Stroke Association House, London. These form part of a schedule of activity designed to ensure they have the skills, and support needed to succeed in becoming the next generation of research leaders.
The number of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMS) has grown in the last few years. PROMs are questionnaires developed to accurately measure patients’ opinions about their health after an illness or during treatment. PROMs are used in both stroke research and routine stroke care.
The Stroke Association is pleased to support the AllTrials campaign and has signed the petition for all clinical trials to be registered and published.

What maintains stroke survivors’ continued use of self-managed computer therapy for aphasia?
Our joint Stroke Association/ MRC Clinical Training Fellowship.
This funding creates dedicated time for healthcare professionals in England working in an eligible profession to develop an application for a doctoral level training Fellowship, and undertake a training programme to give them the skills to apply for doctoral level funding.
This research will study 300 stroke survivors who have fatigue but not depression. It aims to identify factors independently associated with fatigue after stroke to help doctors find the best ways to treat and manage the condition.
The NICE guidelines on use of mechanical clot retrieval (thrombectomy) are a very welcome development in the treatment of stroke. Although a relatively small number of patients will be eligible for this procedure, research shows that the outcomes for those patients are often very good and better than they would have been without the intervention.
We are continuing our long-running partnership with British Heart Foundation, with our joint funding now being administered by the BHF Clinical Study Grants scheme.
