Our new study has officially launched!!

Alongside some amazing collaborators, we're exploring the impact of green spaces 🌳🌱 for people in hospital after a stroke, their visitors and staff who care for them 💚
This #WorldStrokeDay, we’re pleased to announce a new study on how hospital green spaces can support stroke recovery.

Funded by @thestrokeassoc.bsky.social, it aims to reduce inactivity & improve well-being of stroke survivors.

Sobering food for thought: “..SLPs..may not possess the knowledge necessary to adequately inform patients about the health outcomes associated with MTDs”. If we don’t know or communicate adequate information about MTDs to our patients, we are unable to fulfil our duty to obtain informed consent.
