The evaluation we are conducting, aims to monitor
the delivery of the service, document the process of the delivery to
identify any problems, and report patient and professional views of the
perceived benefit of the service. The evaluation report will make recommendations
about the possible continuation of the service and any potential for
incorporation into rehabilitation practice.

This project has been implemented and is evaluating
an innovative service for stroke patients on Mark Ward (Stroke Unit)
at St
Thomas' Hospital. This is a live reading service to be provided by
Interact, the registered charity which developed it. Interact trained
professional actors to read to stroke patients on a one-to-one basis. A
reader spends approximately half an hour with each patient, inviting the
patient to choose from a selection of material, reading to the patient and
encouraging him/her to discuss the material read.
