We were delighted to host Hampshire Hospitals NHS Trust’s stroke team on Wednesday 13th May at Riverside Activity Zone for an important patient engagement event.

Patients from across Hampshire shared their experiences of stroke care - from A&E through to community support - helping shape future services in a meaningful way.

A key theme was the need for ongoing support, with many describing a "cliff edge" when formal care ends. Sessions like this highlight just how vital continued rehabilitation and community support are 💙
