Complex Care

A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is disrupted due to a blockage or a burst blood vessel. This interruption damages brain cells, and the effects can vary significantly depending on the area of the brain affected.

Each year in the UK, approximately 150,000 people experience a stroke. While strokes are more common in individuals over 65, they can occur at any age. Factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and a family history of strokes can increase the risk.
