Founder Stephen Beer says that when the stroke survivor is thinking about going back to, finding or starting work You may have views about the timing of return to work.
"Stroke survivors often found their partner was their strongest ally and supporter in terms of going back to work but it can be hard to get the balance right.
"Timing is important. It not helpful to rush back to work too quickly following a stroke despite potential financial or career pressures.
"It is important to only return when you feel well enough and have a plan in place with your employer on your return."
