How primary care can help survivors of transient ischaemic attack and stroke return to work: focus groups with stakeholders from a UK community.
CONCLUSION: Improving the role for primary care in helping survivors of TIA/stroke return to work is challenging. However, primary care could play a central role in initiating/coordinating vocational rehabilitation. Through focus group discussions with stakeholders from a local community, patients, carers, and clinical commissioners were able to put forward concrete proposals to address the barriers identified.
