There is now a new opportunity to link groups of stroke units into research networks to support the implementation of multi-centre trials. Such trials have the potential to increase patient recruitment rates, and will enhance the generalisability of the findings. Recent experience in establishing a stroke rehabilitation research network is reported in this paper.}, issn = {1470-2118}, URL = {https://www.rcpjournals.org/content/5/1/42}, eprint = {https://www.rcpjournals.org/content/5/1/42.full.pdf}, journal = {Clinical Medicine} }
