Welcome to the European Life After Stroke Series 2022: Shining a Spotlight on Life After Stroke

We look forward to you joining us for a day of building education and awareness around topics that impact the stroke community.

Plenary 1, 10.00 – 11.30 CET: Be inspired and share control: the added value of self-management support 
This webinar will share new ways of thinking about and building the evidence base on self-management. Drawing on examples from research and clinical practice, the session will inspire and challenge delegates to consider the potential of self-management support to deliver outcomes that matter most to stroke survivors. It will include suggestions for expanding the evidence base and accelerating the route to impact to enable more people post stroke feel supported, engaged and confident to self-manage. 

Plenary 2, 15.00 - 16.30 CET: Communication in everyday life 
Communication is the cement that makes partnerships successful on personal, professional, societal, and political levels. Clearly communicating thoughts, ideas and expectations is a challenge in the lives of stroke survivors. Stroke survivors will share their experiences as they relate to communication dilemmas and successes. We will show that even without aphasia, communication failures are common and can result in confusion and distress. This session will address ways to overcome communication barriers.
