The objective of BASP (The British Association of Stroke Physicians) is to promote the advancement of Stroke Medicine within Great Britain.
BASP does this by several means including: - To facilitate research by forming an informal network of researchers and possible collaborators. Stroke care is provided by physicians from a variety of backgrounds in the UK, including Geriatrics, Neurology, Clinical Pharmacology and Rehabilitation Medicine.
- To respond to the requests of other organisations for advice on matters relating to Stroke Medicine
- To encourage members to provide and organise education and training opportunities in their locality for all professionals interested in stroke care
- Developing guidelines for the training of junior doctors in Stroke Medicine to fully prepare them to take a leading role in the management of stroke patients and organisation of services as consultants
- To organise an annual forum at which research relevant to Stroke Medicine can be presented and discussed and which may be organised in association with other organisations.
