Life after stroke service development

We can help you develop cost effective long-term, peer-led services and transform your clients’ experience of life after stroke.

We offer tried and tested service models packaged so you can set up and run life after stroke services in your area.   Our approach is flexible. We listen to your needs and offer a service option to suit you.

All of our work is in collaboration with people with aphasia, the real experts.

Development packages

• How to run peer led conversation groups
• How to set up a befriending scheme
• Running a conversation partner scheme
• How to train people with aphasia to be 'expert trainers' (training the trainers)

Workforce development

• Making communication access a reality
• Care home training

This low-cost, sustainable, training and resource package gives you the knowledge and skills to train your team. You will learn how to make documents, environments and interactions accessible to people with aphasia. You are then given the tools and resources to cascade this to your staff.

User Involvement

We can also advise and help you plan service user and carer consultation and involvement.
