In this episode (9) of Head-Cast, we shine a light on a growing concern in UK stroke care — the lack of follow-up appointments with stroke specialists after hospital discharge. Despite clear NICE guidelines recommending specialist reviews for every stroke survivor, thousands are being left without the critical support needed to monitor recovery, prevent complications, and reduce the risk of a second stroke.
Join Phil as he explores why these post-stroke follow-ups matter, what the latest data reveals about gaps in care, and what needs to change within the NHS to ensure every stroke survivor gets the long-term support they deserve.
Phil has also been attending the recent Political Party Conferences of Labour and the Conservatives, and provides feedback following his conversations with MPs on the state of Stroke Services in their constituencies.
