World Stroke Day 2024: Alasdair’s story of recovery
World Stroke Day 2024
This World Stroke Day we wanted to share Alasdair’s story. In this video stroke survivor Alasdair and his wife Emma talk about their experience of what it was like to be invited to be a part of the Stroke Health and Wellbeing Service, and the difference this support has had on Alasdair’s recovery to date.
Delivering care to stroke survivors
The Stroke Health and Wellbeing Service was a pilot project set up as part of the National Stroke Service Model to test new, innovative ways of delivering care to stroke survivors. Working in partnership with NHS Sussex, Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust, University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust, NHS England, Stroke Association, Headway Sussex, Kent Surrey Sussex Academic Health Science Network.

The project has now come to an end, but over the coming months we will be sharing more about this transformative pilot and its impact, showing what can be achieved through building strong, collaborative partnerships across the system, the role of Health Builders and the importance of including people with lived experience as a part of service design.
In the video above you’ll hear Alasdair talk about how much of an inspiration Shreddie, one of our Lead Health Builders was to him and his recovery. You can learn about Shreddie’s story in our case study – Health Builders, improving stroke services – Here
