Presentation Title: Transforming stroke services in Greater Manchester – what’s the magic?
Greater Manchester has been on a long journey to improve its stroke services, which are now the best rated in the country. Following successful re-organisation of inpatient stroke care to a centralised model, the region is now leading an ambitious agenda to transform its community rehabilitation services, ensuring stroke survivors continue to receive both equitable and high quality care when they leave hospital. Underpinning this work has been managed networks, who have facilitated a collaborative approach to change that has ensured the patient voice has been heard throughout.
