Priority Five in the Action Plan sets out a commitment to establish a revised process to identify a preferred option for Hyperacute Stroke Care. We want to ensure that the voice of people with experience of stroke or carers of those who have is reflected within the process.
Further information on all of the priorities identified in the Action Plan is available here.
The Action Plan was developed following a public consultation in 2019 when the Department asked for views on a range of potential improvements to stoke services. You can read more about the consultation below.
Getting Involved
The Department wants to recruit three people with experience of emergency hospital-based stroke services in Northern Ireland within the past 3 years either as a person with direct experience of stroke or as a carer of someone who has had a stroke to join the Project Board. This is an exciting opportunity to use your voice and experience of stroke to help shape the future of hospital-based stroke services. While the positions are voluntary, any cost arising from participation including travel and respite care will be met by the Department.
