Many new therapies are being developed to treat stroke and prevent its recurrence. While a number of these have been successfully introduced, there is a puzzling gap between evidence of efficacy in animal models and humans. One of the main reasons may be lack of an integrated approach between the basic sciences and clinical researchers.

Summary
This Centre has developed an innovative multidisciplinary model for hospital based clinical research into the common public health problems of stroke and epilepsy. This comprises: research into mechanisms, outcome and rehabilitation of stroke and epilepsy, teaching research skills, career development, and external assessment. Clinicians, researchers and students from medicine, nursing, allied health will be involved. This approach will enhance wider dissemination of research into the community a ....This Centre has developed an innovative multidisciplinary model for hospital based clinical research into the common public health problems of stroke and epilepsy. This comprises: research into mechanisms, outcome and rehabilitation of stroke and epilepsy, teaching research skills, career development, and external assessment. Clinicians, researchers and students from medicine, nursing, allied health will be involved. This approach will enhance wider dissemination of research into the community and may provide a model for other clinical research programs.Read moreRead less
