Stroke Research Involvement Survey
Stroke Research in Scotland
The Scottish stroke research community are all starting to adjust to ‘new normal’ ways of working. This has meant some big changes for how research studies are conducted. However, one thing that will never change is the importance of involving stroke survivors in all aspects of this research.
Social distancing rules mean that there won’t be any big in-person meetings or workshops this year, but there are other ways to keep you informed about stroke research and for you to get involved.
We are especially keen to hear your thoughts on covid-19 and stroke research involvement and it would be really helpful if you were able to fill in the attached survey and email your answers to Karen.McBurnie@ggc.scot.nhs.uk
Please also email Karen.McBurnie@ggc.scot.nhs.uk if you would like to be added to the newsletter list to find out about more opportunities to get involved in research.
Stroke Association and the James Lind Alliance
The stroke association in partnership with the James Lind Alliance are working to identify the top stroke research questions. Over the last few months, the team have been seeking opinions of stroke survivors, their caregivers, clinicians and anyone else with an interest in stroke. So far, they have received over 1300 responses, with a great response from Scotland.
