New social enterprise set up for stroke rehabilitation

A pioneering programme that empowers stroke survivors to become more involved in their own rehabilitation has been officially launched as a social enterprise. Bridges Self-Management is the culmination of an eight-year project led by rehabilitation expert Dr Fiona Jones from the Faculty of Health, Social Care and Education at London’s Kingston University and St George’s, University of London. Dr Jones has spearheaded the development of the programme to help stroke survivors back on the road to greater confidence and independence. It has already been adopted by healthcare providers across the UK and has even been rolled out as far afield
