Response to UK Health Research Analysis 2018

Stroke Association's response to the UK Health Research Analysis 2018 report published by UK Clinical Research Collaboration (January 2020).

Hilary Reynolds, Executive Director of Research at the Stroke Association said : “These latest findings back up our own reports that show the life-shattering effects of stroke remain forgotten or ignored. With the number of strokes set to double by 2035, it’s never been more important to invest in stroke research that can improve how we prevent, treat and support people affected by stroke to rebuild their lives.”
