SSSG Booklet
Introducing the Shetland Stroke Support Group
 The
SSSG committee thought it would be a good idea to have a booklet to
give out to all new stroke patients, to introduce them to the stroke
group. Some of the group members contributed their stories of how
stroke has affected them to be used in the booklet, and copies
are available for anyone in Shetland who has had a stroke.
When the local stroke
services were having their annual review by the Scottish Government
and the National Stroke audit team in 2017 the booklet was shown to
them. The group was asked to produce a poster to present at the
Information Services Division Stroke Audit conference at the Royal
College of Physicians in Edinburgh. The poster was also presented at
the Scottish Stroke Nurses Forum conference in Perth in September
2017.
The poster shows
excerpts from the patient stories in the booklet, as well as photos
of those who contributed, including a story from a wife’s
perspective on how it feels when a family member has a stroke. |
