The INSPIRE strategy aims to ensure a population health approach to improve neurological care. Social and economic disadvantages often limit access to resources, opportunities, and care, leading to poorer health outcomes. Understanding our population will help us provide the right services in the right way.

## INSPIRE Aims:
- Provide an overarching strategy for the development of stroke, neurology and neuro-rehab services in line with HHFT's 'Our Future Together' strategy and the NEL ICB strategy for stroke and neuro-rehab.
- Provide an integrated and comprehensive approach to stroke, neurology and neuro-rehabilitation.
• Support a transformational programme of work to implement the strategy.
• Provide a strategic forum to discuss and action wider ICB and national stroke, neurology and neurorehab developments and progress actions across pathways.
• Support stroke and neuro rehab training, workforce development, and research opportunities within HHFT and NEL.
## Key Themes
Delivering clinical expertise at the right time in the right place
Developing a ready and able workforce
• To take a data driven, population health approach to ensure our services meet the needs of the population we serve.
Improving collaboration and communication
Developing seamless pathways of care
Developing a culture of research, innovation and improvement
Strengthening our partnerships and supporting the region
