This Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust (NCA) study with Manchester Metropolitan Uni aims to help healthcare staff to support #stroke survivors with communication problems (aphasia) to make decisions about treatment or leaving hospital. Head to Research for the Future website for details


VAMCAST is recruiting! Have you had a #stroke (6+ months ago) and do you live in Bury, Salford, Oldham or Rochdale? We will visit volunteers in their homes to carry out the #MCAST #communication screen. Further information here: researchforthefuture.org/studies/vamcas… via Research for the Future
