We regularly receive requests to help share opportunities for people affected by stroke to get involved in research. We have now added to the events section on Stroke Connector to include opportunities for engagement. 


  

A leading SSO in Nigeria, Stroke Action, is finding a new way to secure funds. In partnership with a research funder and philanthropic organization, Stroke Action has developed a study proposal ‘Determining the effectiveness of the Nigerian Life after Stroke Centre Program’. Find out more in our latest blog and Stroke Connector case study.

We are delighted to see members of the SSO network, Jotham Johnson from Sierra Leone and Joseph Rukelibuga from Rwanda, share their stories in the NCD Diaries. This is an initiative from the NCD Alliance to share lived experiences to drive change.

Stroke Alliance for Europe (SAFE) recently hosted the successful European Life after Stroke Forum. SAFE Director General, Arlene Wilkie, wrote a blog about the event and the new report 'A life saved is a life worth living'.
