We work in close partnership with UCL Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Comprehensive Stroke Service, which is home to an Emergency Stroke Unit, Hyperacute Stroke Unit and Research Centre, and an Acute Stroke Unit. We aim to offer the opportunity to participate in stroke research to all of the patients treated within our service by co-ordinating a portfolio of over twenty high-quality national Institute of Health Research (NIHR) clinical trials.

Information for patients, carers and the public
A stroke can be a life-changing event, but advances in knowledge, treatment and support systems mean there can be community, information, and a journey to recovery.
