Life after stroke needs action
Stroke remains one of the leading causes of death and long-term disability in Europe. Yet for many survivors and their families, support after hospital discharge remains fragmented, under-researched and often under-prioritised.
Life after stroke is where recovery, quality of life and long-term outcomes are shaped and where collaboration across disciplines is most urgently needed.

Why should you attend the Forum?
What previous delegates say:
“The Forum was a powerful reminder of the shared challenges and triumphs within the stroke rehabilitation community. It reinforced that even a modest initiative can have a profound impact on those affected by stroke. We also loved the Forum’s inclusive nature, creating a holistic view of the post-stroke experience.”
“[I liked how there was a] strong patient voice and the sense that the agenda was driven by the patients.”
“It was very well organised, and all the stroke survivors’ stories were so powerful. All the talks I attended were excellent.”
