As you know, Professor Roger Boyle will be retiring in July 2011 from his role as National Clinical Director for Heart Disease and Stroke.
Since his appointment in March 2000 he has led the implementation of the National Service Framework for Coronary Heart Disease, and took on stroke in 2005 to go on to develop and implement the National Stroke Strategy.
He has asked that in place of a gift, people who wish to show their appreciation give a donation to the stroke communication charity, Connect.
Roger has worked closely with the charity for a number of years, both in developing the Stroke Strategy and as a trustee, to support of the work they do to support people who have a communication disabilty following a stroke. For more information about them, please take a look at their website: www.ukconnect.org
Many thanks in advance for your support.
