The aim of the guide is to help identify community services available beyond leaving hospital. Community stroke services are varied and access to them is dependent on which area of Nottinghamshire you live in and in which Clinical Commissioning Group your General Practitioner/ Doctor is situated. The East Midlands Academic Health Science Network has produced this guide for the benefit of stroke survivors, families, friends and carers living in South Nottinghamshire (Rushcliffe, Nottingham North & East and Nottingham West). 2 WHY I MIGHT NEED COMMUNITY SERVICES AFTER LEAVING HOSPITAL There is research evidence to show that stroke survivors benefit from stroke specialist rehabilitation delivered by a stroke specialist multidisciplinary team. This is particularly true for ‘Early Supported Discharge’ (ESD) services. ESD services facilitate early transfer of care from hospital to home and provide intensive rehabilitation in the home environment, to aid better and faster recovery. There is also evidence to show that extending community stroke specialist rehabilitation beyond the length of an ESD service, for stroke survivors who need it, has proved beneficial. 3 STROKE PATHWAY ILLUSTRATION This diagram provides an overview of a ‘typical’ stroke care pathway. The term ‘pathway’ refers to a system of stroke services as recommended by research evidence. A ‘typical’ journey experienced by a stroke survivor starts with admission to a hospital (referred to as acute stroke services) then continues through community based rehabilitation and social care services. These services are provided by Clinical Commissioning Groups or local authorities and are delivered by a variety of service providers. The diagram was drawn by Ossie Newell who is a stroke survivor and was created by the East Midlands Academic Health Science Network Stroke Programme. 4 EXAMPLES OF COMMON STROKE CARE PATHWAYS The pathway of care experienced by each stroke survivor will be different, based on their particular needs and what services are available in the area they live. The flowcharts below give examples of some common pathways – these are also ones that research evidence says are most effective.

Following this a Community Stroke Rehabilitation service is provided by the Community Stroke Service located at Stapleford Care Centre, Church Street, Stapleford, Nottingham, NG9 8DB (Tel: 0115 883 5060). Both services provide specialist rehabilitation in your own home. 10 A Complex Stroke Outreach Service is also available depending on individual patient needs and for those who do not meet the criteria required to access the Early Supported Discharge or Community Stroke Rehabilitation services, but who still have outstanding rehabilitation goals. The team delivers therapy at home or in your place of residence. This service is provided by Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, Rehabilitation Unit, City Hospital, Nottingham, NG5 1PB (Tel: 0115 9691169 ext 56922).
