Purpose

As part of the new national stroke service
model October 2020 issued by NHS England and Improvement, an
Integrated Stroke Delivery Network (ISDN) has been created across
the South Yorkshire patch; the aim is to improve the quality of
stroke care by improving clinical outcomes, patient experience and
patient safety. The network is responsible for designing and
delivering optimal stroke pathways across our organisations and
existing pathways to ensure that people
who have suffered stroke disease experience high quality
specialised care from prehospital, through to rehabilitation and
life after stroke and is key to delivering the long-term plan
commitment for stroke care.
