The document discusses two stroke pathways and the role of life after stroke services. The first pathway shows clinical and personal/social issues for stroke survivors in orange and blue areas. The second pathway illustrates how life after stroke services can save money by helping survivors live independently through community support, rehabilitation, and prevention of additional strokes. It compares costs of a pathway without specialist support (£7,903) to one with support (£4,990), saving £2,913. It emphasizes that life after stroke services are an integral part of recovery and help people stay independent, saving costs long-term.
