Stroke user involvement network

The Lambeth and Southwark Stroke User Involvement Network is a new project which started in April 2008, coordinated by DASL working with Blackfriars Settlement in Southwark, and funded by Guy’s & St Thomas’ Charity with further support from Lambeth PCT, Southwark Health and Social Care and London Catalyst.

The Network is coordinated by DASL but it is led by users. It will organise meetings and events, provide information and support people who have had strokes to access services in the community. Users will deliver key services including peer support, training and contribute to the planning and design of stroke services. The Coordinator, Deborah Sowerby, left DASL recently and, until this post is filled, the post will be covered by David Strong. If you have had a stroke at any time, are a carer for someone in this situation or have a professional interest, please contact David on 020 7642 2054 or email and he will send you more information about the Network.

We have recently organised a very successful launch event for the Network. Find out more on the projects and events page here
