Sentinel Stroke National Audit Programme (SSNAP)

Programme overview

This audit assesses the quality of the organisation and delivery of multi-disciplinary inpatient stroke health services in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. It audits the care provided for patients during and after they receive inpatient care following a stroke. The audit looks at the care provided to every patient during their inpatient stay (acute and community hospital care) as well as outcomes and interventions during the six months following their stroke, and including the organisation of stroke services.
