N2 - Since the beginning of the South London Stroke Register (SLSR) in 1995, stroke care has undergone major transformations and the SLSR adapted alongside. Recruitment strategies changed in line with patient pathways, and data collections were updated to reflect clinical practice and provide clinicians and policymakers with the most impactful data. Our Stroke Research Patient and Family group was pivotal to define the most relevant care and outcome measures for stroke survivors. The SLSR has published numerous studies on epidemiological trends and the implementation of care interventions. By providing real-world data, the SLSR has contributed to shaping local and national stroke policies, such as the UK’s National Audit Office reports 2005 and 2010, the reconfiguration of London’s stroke services and national stroke guidelines. Linking SLSR data with routinely collected health data might further address many unanswered questions around stroke as a long-term chronic condition in ageing populations.
