Stroke Service

Wired Stroke Support Service Cumbria

Wired has been commissioned by Cumbria County Council to provide a Stroke Support service. The service covers the whole of Cumbria but is broken down into North, South and West Cumbria.
The service provides Information Advice and Advocacy to Stroke survivors and their families and carers. The stroke service has also been commissioned to carry out Carers assessments.

Advice
We will ensure that you have the right information and signpost you to other agencies if needed
Support
We will make sure that we listen to you and your family and carers
Advocacy
We will speak on your behalf if you need it, in any setting
Prevention
We will work in partnership with other agencies to look at preventative measures with stroke

The Wired Stroke Support service will tell everyone clearly what it does and how it helps stroke survivors. The Wired Stroke support service is not part of any other service. This means that they can do things that are important to you, without the need to please other people. The Wired Stroke support service will help you to tell people what you want, and make sure that you are listened to. The Wired Stroke service will be free you don’t have to pay anything! The Wired Stroke service will keep information about you confidential, unless there are concerns about your safety or someone else you know or the law says they must.
