PsyCen: More than a mini-stroke
Management of holistic needs after transient ischemic attack and minor stroke

This seminar presents a body of research exploring people’s needs and experiences of follow-up after a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or a minor stroke and development of an intervention to address unmet needs.

There have been significant advances in the identification and acute management of a TIA and minor strokes. However, follow-up is variable, unstructured and suboptimal.

Adequate follow-up should encompass

  1. Education (diagnosis and stroke risk)
  2. Stroke prevention (medication and lifestyle change)
  3. Residual problems (such as fatigue, anxiety).

Grace’s primary research interests are focused on the long-term impact of transient ischaemic attack (TIA); optimising stroke prevention; and Patient Reported Outcomes in Primary Care. She is also interested in use of primary care medical records to conduct epidemiological research.

Grace is actively involved in teaching and is a Fellow of the The Higher Education Academy. She also has a number of role supporting early career researchers, including ECRAG co-chair, PERCAT representative and member of the Institute Executive Committee.
