The Welsh Stroke Nursing Alliance (WSNA)


Was established in Wales to provide authoritative clinical nursing advice on national clinical standards, best practice, and research to the Welsh Stroke Alliance (WSA) and the Welsh Nursing and Midwifery committee (WNMC).
The Welsh Assembly commissioned the Stroke Services Improvement Programme as the result of  comments made by Professor Tony Rudd  following the publication of the 2008            SENTINEL audit results in which Welsh stroke care was shown to be below an acceptable standard. As part of this programme the WSA was set up and allied health groups interested in stroke were initiated the WSNA being one of them.
Membership of the WSNA is open to nurses who work in, and have demonstrated interest and a commitment to, the improvement of  prevention and treatment in stroke for all  citizens of Wales. A core group has been set up in order to lead and facilitate effective  communication for members of the WSNA. This core group comprises of 3 nominated representatives from each Health Board.
