Importantly we need to shift our focus from the physical only to the psychological state and wellbeing of a person too.

Maya reflects on the distinction between clinical and personal recovery after stroke. She describes how recovery is not about being who you were before but is self-determined and about becoming who you want to be. open.substack.com/pub/mayakuza...

Maya explains her experience of life after stroke and how the European Life After Stroke Conference was a turning point in navigating her life post-stroke. Also what she wished she had been told - stroke professionals please read this!!

What stroke survivors want you to know, how it helps & the value of lived experience. Excellent descriptions and important reading for professionals and the families of those adjusting to life after stroke. @louiseclark15.bsky.social @willchegwidden.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/theesk/p...

Have a listen to this new podcast started by a member of our Imperial Stroke Public Involvement Group. I think it has the potential to evolve into a useful resource for people with stroke and their families. @imperialbrains.bsky.social @imperialperc.bsky.social shows.acast.com/talking-abou...

Do you use lay consent forms?

Yes I had lay P.I.S which were useful for many of the participants, even those who had English as their mother tongue. The problem comes with the consent form which is so formally worded and inaccessible. With words like legal rights, regulatory authorities.
