Stroke survey

OVER 65,100 in Wales are currently living with the devastating effects of stroke.  It happens in an instant, yet this devastating condition can affect people physically and emotionally for the rest of their lives. The long-term effects can often take a huge toll on partners, carers and families too. We are calling on stroke survivors, their carers and stroke professional across Wales to take part in a national survey and tell us about their experiences of stroke. As resources for healthcare in Wales become increasingly stretched, we want stroke treatment, therapy and care to remain a priority.  If any of your readers has had a stroke or cares for someone who has had a stroke, we would like to hear their views. The more voices that are heard, the more we can do to help change the world for stroke survivors. The closing date for our survey is 31 March 2016. It can be completed online at www.stroke.org.uk/campaigns or you can contact the Stroke Association on 02920 524400 to obtain a paper copy.
