The National Stroke Foundation commissioned this research because we want to develop and implement strategies that will improve life after stroke for nearly 350,000 stroke survivors and their carers and families.
This report found stroke survivors continue to struggle to regain their health after a stroke and have difficulty finding information to help them recover.
Stroke survivors and carers went to Parliament House on 15 August to ask MPs to walk in their shoes.
The Clinical Report was undertaken in 2007. The objectives of the audit program were to describe the services and resources available in hospitals and to determine whether provision of clinical stroke care was consistent with evidence based recommendations.
