In 2007 the Department of Health published the National Stroke Strategy that set out the gold standard for stroke care. CLAHRC for South Yorkshire has worked with stroke survivors, hospital staff, relatives and carers to identify aspects of stroke unit care that still need or would benefit from improvement. A briefing paper on Improving Stroke Unit Quality has been produced, and CLAHRC is now working closely with some of the stroke units involved to develop ways to improve aspects of care in line with the priorities that have been identified.
