Applications are open to any HSCP representative, working in stroke, who has a keen interest in representing their professional group at a national level with the aim of improving stroke care in Ireland. Up to two representatives from each HSCP profession are being sought to join the group.

FREQUENCY OF MEETINGS:
Meetings will take place every 4-8 weeks. There may be meetings outside of these meetings as required for some workstreams. The majority of meetings will be online via Microsoft Teams to facilitate maximum attendance of representatives. Some meetings may be held face to face.
