RCOT supports call for more therapy for stroke survivors
- Recommendations for greater rehab support for stroke survivors by the Stroke Association
- National Institute for health & care excellence (NICE) guidelines recommend that stroke survivors receive at least 45 minutes, five days a week of each type of rehabilitation therapy for as long as it is of benefit to them
- However the stroke association has revealed that on average stroke survivors only receive around a third of the recommendation
- Evidence proves that with correct Occupational therapy support, people can lead independent & healthy lives & return home quickly following a stroke
