On March 31, at MAME Tours – the City of Creativity and Innovation, a conference dedicated to post‑stroke care was held, organized by the CHRU of Tours in partnership with the University of Tours and with the support of the TIPITCH project.
This event was a true success in many respects: ◾ the choice of a crucial and still too rarely discussed topic: life after the acute phase of stroke;
◾ a full conference room, reflecting strong interest in the subject;
◾ a wide diversity of participants brought together: healthcare professionals (medical, paramedical, and social care), stroke survivors, caregivers, institutions, patient associations, and citizens engaged with these issues;
◾ and above all, the richness and authenticity of the discussions among women and men committed to continuously improving long‑term care and support for people affected by stroke.
Within the RHU TIPITCH project, we are particularly proud to support this initiative led by the CHRU of Tours, a key project partner and leader of Work Package 4, dedicated to the establishment of a national cohort and the creation of a brain imaging core analysis center.
This event perfectly illustrates an approach that places patients at the heart of both clinical practice and research thinking.
Congratulations to all the teams at the CHRU of Tours and their partners for the high quality of the organization and their collective commitment.
