This study aimed to elicit generalists' and specialists' experience of stroke-related interprofessional communication, including perceived barriers and enablers. Qualitative study involving generalist (primary care) and specialist services (acute and community) in England. Six focus groups (n = 48) were conducted.

Generalists and specialists recognise the need for better communication with each other. Current care is characterised by silo-based working that ignores the contribution of other sectors. Failure to bridge this communication gap will result in people with stroke continuing to experience unmet stroke needs and fragmented care.

Navigating the maze of resources and services can create confusion and impact how care is delivered and integrated. Patient navigators can help support and guide patients and caregivers through the healthcare system by matching their needs to appropriate resources with the
