Stroke is a sudden and life-changing event, and is a leading cause of death and disability in the UK. Over recent years, there have been significant advances in proven, highly effective methods of stroke treatment and care.
After NHS Somerset’s Stroke Strategy review in 2019, we identified a need to evaluate current acute stroke services in Somerset. Acute hospital-based stroke services is the specialist hospital care people receive in the first few days and weeks when they first have a stroke.
NHS Somerset is running a public consultation to gather feedback about the future of acute hospital based stroke services in Somerset, from people living in Somerset and people who use Somerset hospitals.
The consultation runs for 12 weeks from Monday 30th January until midnight on Monday 24th April 2023. We want to hear your views on the future of hyper acute and acute stroke services in the county. Please click here to find out more and share your views.
