The case studies are divided into four key workforce areas: prevention, acute care, rehabilitation, and community services. Cases studies are provided in each of these areas describing examples of developing stroke specialist skills, and how roles have developed and changed in areas of excellence in stroke treatment. Some of the case studies appear in more than one area, reflecting the diversity of each role: individuals in the workforce are likely to have contact with more than one area of the stroke care pathway.
