Relevant
articles from MA Healthcare journals to support your staff’s education and
practice
June 2018
Both the diagnosis
and care of stroke victims is a key issue for health professionals in the UK;
today there are over 1.2 million stroke survivors that are discharged from hospitals who need care. It
is a condition that is currently one of the largest causes of disability, and
one third of survivors require help with daily activities from others, such as
professional carers, family and friends.
We have provided a list of relevant articles from MA Healthcare
journals dealing with stroke, thereby providing your NHS staff with research,
information and tips that will support both their work and their patients.
