The stroke team at Bradford are dedicated to giving the best possible care to patients. Research is pivotal for providing evidence to change practice and drive care forward. Patients have the right to be involved with changing practice. All the team, Doctors, Nurses, physio, OT and the outreach team are actively involved in trials.

Bradford has an excellent record of participating in stroke research and continues to have a strong portfolio of stroke trials investigating different aspects of stroke care. The trials cover the patient pathway from acute admission, hospital stay, rehabilitation and into the community.

Stroke Research is being positively promoted to the patient and public.

“Stroke care is committed to evidence based practice. We aim to give every stroke patient the opportunity to be involved in a research trial.”
