Introduction
The Stroke MCN is a multidisciplinary group that brings together representatives from across health and social care and the third sector to ensure equitable provision of high quality, clinically effective care to Stroke patients throughout Grampian.
Who are we?
Our Network is made up of individuals representing organisations who want to work with us to achieve improvements in the health and wellbeing of the Grampian population. Generally in our MCN there is representation from NHS Grampian, Health and Social Care Partnerships and Third Sector.
The ‘management’ of this MCN is delivered by the Stroke MCN Board who help to coordinate and support strategic and operational activities. The members all have distinct roles, some also have a role in national groups, but together we work collectively under the umbrella of the MCN.

Educational Events
One of the key goals of the Stroke MCN is to offer education and learning opportunities to support our informed and knowledgeable health & care colleagues to continue to offer the best levels of care to those requiring Stroke Care. As part of this objective, the MCN organises an annual conference to support the professional development of our colleagues and partners.
2025 marks a particularly significant year for Stroke Care. We are thrilled to announce that the 2025 MCN Multidisciplinary Conference will be held in person at Aberdeen’s P&J Live on 21st May, coinciding with the prestigious UK Stroke Forum, which will also take place at the same venue from 25 – 27 November 2025. This presents a unique opportunity to bring together professionals and partners in Stroke Care for an exceptional week of learning and collaboration.
