The NIHR Global Health Research Group on Improving Stroke Care in India is a University of Lancashire initiative focused on strengthening stroke care through international research and collaboration. Funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research with UK government aid, the programme brings together stroke specialists and healthcare professionals in the UK and India. Its work includes collaboration with Sree Chitra Tirunal and other partners, sharing specialist knowledge, and supporting improvements in stroke care practice.

The project provides information about its background, aims, governance, workstreams, award, progress and team. It also shares news, events and publications related to the programme and its development. Educational resources include courses and practical care bundles, with materials on swallowing and hydration competency assessment and neurological monitoring. The swallowing and hydration resource includes a quiz. Through these activities and resources, the group aims to support knowledge exchange and professional learning in India’s stroke care community.
