As the Research Coordinator at Stroke Foundation, seeing people with lived experience of stroke and researchers working together is an inspiring part of my job.
Researcher Dr Liz Lynch from Flinders University worked alongside carers and family members of people living with stroke, in a project titled, ‘Where to go and what to do? Supporting carers of stroke survivors to get tailored information to meet their needs’.
This project developed a range of video resources from carers for carers and some of these are shared below.
