PURPOSE AND AIM OF THIS GUIDE
Leaving hospital can be an anxious and confusing time. The aim of the guide is to help identify community services available beyond leaving hospital.
Community stroke services are varied and access to them is dependent on which area of Nottinghamshire you live in and in which Clinical Commissioning Group your General Practitioner/Doctor is situated.
The East Midlands Academic Health Science Network has produced this guide for the benefit of stroke survivors, families, friends and carers living in Mid-Nottinghamshire.
WHY I MIGHT NEED COMMUNITY SERVICES AFTER LEAVING HOSPITAL
There is research evidence to show that stroke survivors benefit from stroke specialist rehabilitation delivered by a stroke specialist multidisciplinary team.
This is particularly true for ‘Early Supported Discharge’ (ESD) services. ESD services facilitate early transfer of care from hospital to home and provide intensive rehabilitation in the home environment, to aid better and faster recovery.
There is also evidence to show that extending community stroke specialist rehabilitation beyond the length of an ESD service, for stroke survivors who need it, has proved beneficial.
It is important to note that some patients may not experience the exact pathway explained in this guide and take different routes depending on individual needs.

INFORMATION FOR PATIENTS LIVING IN MID-NOTTINGHAMSHIRE
Stroke survivors living in Mid-Nottinghamshire will most typically follow the journey below:
Following admission to the Stroke Unit at Kings Mill Hospital, assessments by the specialist team will be completed and rehabilitation will begin, working towards discharge from the hospital with you and your family.
An Early Supported Discharge Service provides stroke rehabilitation in your own home and so allows you to leave hospital early. For those patients who are not eligible for this service, rehabilitation will continue in hospital and as your recovery progresses you will be transferred to an outpatient rehabilitation service.
Outpatient Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy services are delivered by teams based at Kings Mill Hospital, Mansfield Community Centre or Newark Hospital. Speech and language therapy service is delivered by a team based at Mansfield Community Centre.
In order to be eligible to receive these services you must be registered with a Mid-Nottinghamshire GP and meet certain requirements specified by the services.

STROKE PATHWAY ILLUSTRATION
This diagram provides an overview of a ‘typical’ stroke care pathway. The term ‘pathway’ refers to a system of stroke services as recommended by research evidence. A ‘typical’ journey experienced by a stroke survivor starts with admission to a hospital (referred to as acute stroke services) then continues through community based rehabilitation and social care services. These services are provided by Clinical Commissioning Groups or local authorities and are delivered by a variety of service providers. The diagram was drawn by Ossie Newell who is a stroke survivor and was created by the East Midlands Academic Health Science Network Stroke Programme.

EXAMPLES OF OTHER COMMON STROKE CARE PATHWAYS
The pathway of care experienced by each stroke survivor will be different, based on their particular needs and what services are available in the area they live.
The flowcharts below give examples of some common pathways – these are also ones that research evidence says are most effective.
