Welcome to Wessex Global Stroke Partnerships

We strive to improve outcomes for people with stroke through partnership, education and empowerment.  We have partners in Ghana, The Gambia, and Zambia.

Formed in 2009, the Wessex Global Stroke Partnerships (WGSP, formerly Wessex Ghana Stroke Partnership) brings together healthcare professionals predominantly from Wessex in the UK, Korle Bu Teaching Hospital (KBTH), Tamale Teaching Hospital (TTH), and Ho Teaching Hospital (HTH) in Ghana, Edward Francis Small Teaching Hospital (EFSTH) in The Gambia, and clinicians working with the Neurological Association of Zambia.  We are a multidisciplinary team collaborating together virtually and face-to-face where possible, to improve care for people with stroke.  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 partner hospitals.
