The Sentinel Stroke National Audit Programme (SSNAP) is a major national healthcare quality improvement programme based
in the School of Life Course and Population Sciences at King's College London. SSNAP measures the quality and organisation
of stroke care across England, Wales and Northern Ireland, helping services understand their performance and improve care
for people affected by stroke.
What we measure
SSNAP measures the processes of care provided to stroke patients through the Clinical Audit, as well as the structure of stroke services through the Organisational Audit, against evidence-based standards.
Our aim
Our aim is to provide timely, reliable information to clinicians, commissioners, patients and the public about how well stroke care is being delivered.
How SSNAP is used
SSNAP information supports services and healthcare professionals to identify opportunities for improvement and improve the quality of care provided to patients.
