Welcome to Wessex Global Stroke Partnerships
We strive to improve outcomes for people with stroke through partnership, education and empowerment. Our main focus is in Ghana and The Gambia.
Formed in 2009, the Wessex Global Stroke Partnerships (WGSP - and previous Wessex Ghana Stroke Partnership) brings together healthcare professionals from Wessex in the UK, Korle Bu Teaching Hospital (KBTH) in Accra, and Edward Francis Small Teaching Hospital (EFSTH) in Banjul. We are a multidisciplinary team collaborating together virtually and face-to-face where possible, to improve stroke care at KBTH and EFSTH. This is achieved through making knowledge about stroke accessible, sharing and adapting clinical and leadership skills, and working together to strengthen systems. We strive to support the development of stroke services in a way that is culturally relevant and where improvements can be objectively measured, thereby leading to real and sustainable changes to patient care. The ultimate goal is to improve morbidity and mortality through the introduction of organised multidisciplinary stroke care.
This project is supported by the Tropical Health & Education Trust (THET) as part of the Health Partnership Scheme, which is funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO).
Please note that we cannot respond to direct clinical enquiries regarding individual patients, or regarding transfers to KBTH or EFSTH.
