 But you are completely missing the only goal in stroke. 100% recovery. YOU have to change that by screaming at whomever is in charge here and completely failed at their job.

 Stroke Priority Setting Partnership - Stroke Association; UK

The Stroke Priority Setting Partnership worked with over 1,400 people affected by stroke and care professionals to establish priority areas for research across the stroke care pathway.  

Research can help save and rebuild more lives after stroke by driving improvements in treatment and care. But only £25 per stroke survivor is dedicated to research in a year. This compares to £161 per person living with cancer.

In order to address these priority areas and improve the lives of people affected by stroke, investment in stroke research must significantly increase. 

Priority areas for stroke research

There are two lists of priority areas:  

Priority 1: Stroke prevention, diagnosis, pre-hospital and hospital care. 

This includes research to stop stroke happening for the first time, treat stroke caused by bleeding in the brain, and reduce complications of a stroke.

Priority 2: Stroke rehabilitation and long-term care. 

This includes research to improve care for mental and emotional problems after stroke, stroke services in the community and understanding of the long-term impacts of stroke on everyday life.

The 18 priorities listed are not correct, most are secondary problems which would be solved by tackling the primary problem,100% recovery.

Research over the last two decades has identified treatments that prevent stroke and improve its outcome. But the number of people struck down by stroke is rising in the UK. [...] These lists of uncertainties are wish lists for people affected by stroke and to-do lists for funding agencies that want to improve outcomes and reduce the burden of stroke.
