How things were 12 months ago
HADS tool (hospital anxiety and depression score) and SADQ-10 (stroke aphasic depression tool)
Assessed at 14 days
Over 60% patients discharged before 14 days
Poor uptake by nursing staff
Carried out by OT’s – reactive and not proactive
Not an ideal tool for acute patients, or patients with aphasia or cognitive impairment
Poor data collection
