Stroke patients should be offered extra rehabilitation on the NHS, say updated guidelines for England and Wales.

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) had previously recommended 45 minutes a day.

But it believes some patients may need more intensive therapy for recovery and is suggesting three hours a day, five days a week.

Experts welcome the advice, but question how feasible it will be for a stretched health service to deliver.

NICE accepts it may be “challenging”, but it says patients and families deserve the best care possible. That includes help regaining speech, movement and other functions caused by the damage that happens to the brain during a stroke.

NHS England has said increasing the availability of high quality rehabilitation is a priority. More people than ever are surviving a stroke thanks to improvements in NHS care, it added.

A stroke cuts off blood supply to parts of the brain, killing some cells. They are common and can affect people of all ages, but many patients survive if they receive prompt treatment.

All strokes are different, depending on the part of the brain that is damaged. For some people, the effects may be relatively minor and may not last long, while others may be left with more serious long-term problems.

There are around 85,000 strokes every year in England, and around a million stroke survivors, many of whom are living with long-term effects.

Some of the injury is reversible, though, with help from health teams providing services such as physiotherapy, as well as occupational, speech and language therapies.

 

 

 


After having a stroke at the age of 14, Brenna needed daily physiotherapy to learn how to walk
Although strokes usually affect older people, about 400 UK children have a stroke each year in the UK, leaving many with severe physical and mental after effects.

 

Brenna Collie, who is 21 and from Aberdeenshire, had a stroke in 2017, at the age of 14.

 

“But equally, it shouldn’t be underestimated how important it is for people who have been left with disabilities following a stroke to be given the opportunity to benefit from SUPPORY

If you suspect that you or someone else are having a stroke, call emergency services – 999 in the UK – immediately and ask for an ambulance.

The main symptoms of stroke can be remembered with the word FAST:

Face – drooping
Arms – unable to lift both and keep them there.
Speech – slurred, garbled or unresponsive
Time – dial 999 immediately
