Stroke is one of the commonest neurological conditions and is the third most common cause of death and the most common cause of severe disability in the United Kingdom. Although risk of a further stroke is particularly high after a Transient Ischaemic Attack (TIA) or first stroke, recent national and local data indicate that patients’ and carers’ knowledge of stroke and of the lifestyle changes needed to reduce the recurrent risk of stroke is poor and information provision is limited. In addition, patients and carers report that they feel abandoned when they return home and carers are more likely to be depressed than stroke survivors.
