Developing Ideas

Getting Aphasia on the National Agenda
  • Direct patient focus rather than a professional
    focus.
  • Looked at diverse sources of evidence to build
    the case.
  • Clinical guidelines e.g. RCSLT, SIGN
  • Policy documents e.g. CHD Stroke strategy, NES
    Stroke core competencies, Disability
    Discrimination Act
  • Patient impact e.g. user consultations e.g CHSS
    and CONNECT, Aphasia petition to Scottish
    Parliament and patient quotes.
