(5/6) That’s why we believe third sector organisations like CHSS must have a seat at the table. We already deliver rehabilitation, peer support, and care coordination that the NHS cannot do alone. We are ready to collaborate and help shape this framework from the outset.

(4/6) We are already operating an evidence-based, cross-condition model of care in partnership with NHS partners, with specialisation built in where needed. This model has proven successful in improving recovery outcomes and could be applied more widely across other conditions.

(3/6) We recognise the significant shift that the Scottish Government’s Long Term Conditions Framework proposes and are cautiously optimistic about its potential.

Michael was just 30 when he suffered two life-changing strokes.

When stroke turns your life upside down, recovery can feel impossible. But with the right support, it is possible.🤝

Our goal is simple: to show that no life should be half lived after stroke and that no one in Scotland faces it alone.
