Working for a world where there are fewer strokes and all those touched by stroke get the help they need

The charity was formed a century ago to help in the fight against tuberculosis. That fight was won, but today the battle goes on against ailments which continue to blight the well being of the nation.

The Heart & Stroke Information Point works with patients, carers and health professionals in Tayside to provide a high quality, user-friendly health information website. In particular, we provide information for people who have been affected by heart disease and/or stroke conditions.

Every year, an estimated 150,000 people in the UK have a stroke. That’s one person every five minutes.
