Central to the recovery of stroke survivors is overcoming the unique nutritional challenges many face along their post-stroke journey, with the importance of medical nutrition often not fully realised.

Some of the key areas where medical nutrition can play a role after stroke include dysphagia, malnutrition, sarcopenia and pressure injuries. When combined with effective physical therapy, nutritional interventions may offer patients a better chance to optimise their recovery and defend against debilitating and costly sequelae.

To better equip the multi-disciplinary stroke care team, we have gathered a collection of educational resources to help demonstrate how and why specialised nutrition is an integral part of the stroke care patient journey.
