Using a checklist to facilitate management of long-term care needs after stroke: insights from focus groups and a feasibility study.

Background: Long-term needs of stroke survivors are often not adequately addressed and many patients are dissatisfied with care post-discharge from hospital. Primary care could play an important role in identifying need in people with stroke.

Aim: We aimed to explore, refine and test the feasibility and acceptability of a post-stroke checklist for stroke reviews in primary care.
