User involvement: National Stroke Strategy

In the summer of 2007 the Department of Health undertook a public consultation on the first ever National Stroke Strategy for England. During this period The Stroke Association encouraged stroke survivors and carers to respond, and then collated over 500 individual and collective submissions. The response was overwhelming, and the depth of feeling was apparent with so many people taking the opportunity to recount their experiences of stroke services and voice their opinions on how they should be improved. This short film describes how stroke survivors were involved in the discussions.

Following the consultation process, the National Stroke Strategy for England was published by the Department of Health on Wednesday 5 December 2007. For more information, visit http://www.stroke.org.uk/campaigns/other_campaigns/the_department_of_healths_...
