Abstract

Stroke has been a priority for NHS Scotland for 15 years, in that time there has been a 21% decrease in the incidence and a 41% improvement in survival rates. These figures represent enormous success for public health and acute care but have created a new challenge; to provide the rehabilitation and care needed so that the increasing number of people living with the effects of a stroke (currently estimated at 117, 500 in Scotland) are able to live meaningful lives. This challenge is not confined to Scotland, worldwide an estimated 15 million people suffer a stroke every year with a third left with persistent disability.
