Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

The nurse‑led community stroke clinic provided a single, holistic consultation to discuss physical, emotional, and lifestyle needs after mild stroke.

Those who had experienced stroke and their families felt supported and empowered, with improved diets, increased activity, reduced alcohol intake and better emotional wellbeing. The model prevented readmissions, tackled hidden symptoms such as fatigue and anxiety and delivered high impact at low cost.

Evaluation showed it is effective, scalable, and strengthens NHS efficiency.
