University of Nottingham Stroke Research Partnership Group
The Nottingham Stroke Research Partnership Group (@astroke) is a group of stroke survivors and carers who work with stroke researchers from the University of Nottingham. The Group meets each month to review stroke research proposals.
Where appropriate, lay members may also serve on research study steering groups or participate in research studies themselves. The Group’s aim is to ensure stroke research conducted locally involves stroke patients and carers and is informed by their needs and wishes.
