This service will be provided embedded alongside the existing Stroke Recovery and Prevention Service, commissioned separately in Newham providing to provide:
Key worker support
The Stroke Recovery Service core provides support to navigate through the complexities of the stroke pathway giving advice and help to adjust to the changes that stroke brings.
Assessment of need
An assessment of need is offered to each person. The level of assessed need will determine the level of support an individual requires to meet their desired outcomes.
Planning for recovery
The Stroke Recovery Plan records an individual's needs and desired outcomes and sets out the actions required to achieve those outcomes. If there is a need to cost options and the level of need is low options and costings can be presented.
Implementing the plan
The support needed from staff, volunteers and others to deliver the option selected is provided.
Emotional support
Stroke survivors and carers are supported with techniques such as active listening and problem solving. Where the need for more intensive emotional support is identified, coordinators ensure that they are referred appropriately in accordance with local pathways.
Supported communication
Stroke survivors with communication disabilities are supported to express themselves at each review point using supported conversation techniques. Where the need for more intensive support is identified coordinators ensure they are referred appropriately in accordance with local pathways.
Regular review
During a client review the Stroke Recovery Plan is reviewed and any new needs are identified and addressed. Support in between review points is offered as required according to the level of identified need.
Moving on
When the time is right the Stroke Recovery Coordinator works with individuals to help them find support within their own community so that they can move on with their life after stroke.

Service operating hours
The service is operational Monday to Friday between the hours of 9.00am and 5.00pm (excluding public bank holidays), as running alongside the existing Stroke Recovery Service.
The service remains flexible to the needs of the stroke survivors and their families. Where there is capacity, visits to a stroke survivor at home may take place outside of these core hours, as it may be more suitable to visit them in an evening or at a weekend, especially if they are in employment.
Staff will receive training in risk management and health and safety to enable them to work in line with Stroke Association's policies of lone working, particularly when working in the community or undertaking out of hours work.
Locations of service delivery
The service will be delivered in a range of locations within the purchased area with an emphasis on assessment in their own home. However this could also include:
* Residential care homes, nursing homes
* Community settings, including libraries, colleges, community centres
* Other public venues as appropriate to the needs of the service users
Referrals
The Stroke Recovery Service operates an open referral system and as such referrals can be made at any stage following a stroke.
The majority of referrals to the service are received from the hospital; however we also accept referrals from:
* The stroke survivor themselves
* The carer, family or significant other of the stroke survivor
* GPs
* Social Care
* Stroke Association staff
* Other health and social care professionals
This is not an exhaustive list.
