Who we care for

To use this service, you will need to be referred by a health professional from the hospital. This means you must have stayed in hospital after having a stroke. The Doctor will refer you to the service that is the most suitable for your health needs. The Doctor might refer you to this service or a different service. The service will then contact you to make an appointment or explain what will happen next.
