Stroke Survivor's Deep Prevention Clinic
Stroke survivor deserves the utmost support to reduce their risk of future strokes and to gain a clear understanding of the factors that contributed to their condition.
I firmly believe that the NHS should provide this essential care and does so in some places, but for those seeking more in-depth information, our clinic is here to fill any gaps in your care.
We’re dedicated to empowering you with the knowledge and resources you need for a healthier future.
Detailed Holistic Consultation
My first priority is to listen to you and your ideas, concerns and expectations.
This will always be at the core of my clinics.
If you provide your stroke consultant's details and agree to information disclosure I will endeavour to get as much information as possible from your NHS team, to avoid the cost of unnecessarily repeating tests.
Cardiac monitoring
As atrial Fibrillation (abnormal heart rhythm) is a major causes of strokes I believe that the majority of stroke survivors should receive at least 2 weeks of heart monitoring. If you haven't had this we can arrange it for you.
Lifestyle Factors
Lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, smoking, sleep and even social interactions can have a huge impact on stroke risk. I will work to understand which factors may be contributing to your risk, what can be done to reduce them and help you put those changes into practice using simple habit building techniques.
Real-time monitoring
For those that want a deeper understanding of their physiology I can arrange real-time monitoring of your Blood Pressure and/or blood sugar so you can see for yourself what may cause them to go up and learn to keep them under control.
Risk Factors
I will proactively look for the biggest risk factors that cause stroke such as high blood pressure, diabetes, Sleep apnoea and cholesterol and treat them proactively.
Follow up and support
All Stroke Survivors will receive a full action plan designed collaboratively between you and I. You will also receive a dashboard with your results on it and if you subscribe for a small monthly fee you can benefit from regular check-ins either by text, on the phone or through follow up clinics.
