About SSAHPF

The Scottish Stroke AHP Forum’s (SSAHPF) main aim is to promote the highest quality of rehabilitation for people with stroke.

This is achieved by playing an active part in influencing AHP developments and services at local and national levels. The forum also participates and promotes research in clinical stroke rehabilitation. This helps to improve life after stroke for all stroke patients, their families and carers.
