Great to see the new NICE stroke rehab guidelines reflecting a shift to offering as much practice as people can manage and want to do. With innovative use of community services and technology, we can rise to the challenge! @StrokeWorkforce @bristolstroke @NbTstroke @BNSSG_ICB

People who have had a stroke should be offered additional rehabilitation, according to updated guidance from NICE.
New evidence suggests that a minimum of 3 hours of rehabilitation per day over 5 days should be provided.

ALT Around 100,000 people are admitted to hospital following a stroke, and around 1 million people are living with its long-term effects. NICE’s updated guideline provides evidence-led recommendations of best practice in stroke rehabilitation.
