This is a 12-week programme based at Harrow Leisure Centre for patients from NWL (Brent, Harrow, Ealing, Hounslow, Hillingdon) who have had a minor stroke or TIA. (Note: There is a similar program being run at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital for residents of the Tri borough that is solely led by Chelsea Football Club Foundation team).
The session runs on Tuesdays 2-4pm with the first hour being a circuit-based exercise programme and the second hour is an expert led education session on key topics to reduce the risk of future strokes.
The aim of the programme is to help reduce the risk of further strokes in our participants. We are looking for more participants for future sessions.
These are the current planned cohort dates:
