Quarterly Easy Access Version (EAV) reports

SSNAP assess 10 measures of stroke care.

SSNAP EAV reports explain the 10 measures of care in a simple and structured way.

Maps show the results for each measure across the England, Wales, & Northern Ireland.
 


Every 3 months, SSNAP produce a national EAV report (for all patients in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland).

How do I access EAV reports?

Please note:
SSNAP did not report hospital scores during the COVID-19 pandemic.
This means that SSNAP did not produce EAV reports between October 2019 - March 2021.

To download EAV reports:
  • go to the SSNAP national results page
  • select the time period of interest in the dropdown box.
How did SSNAP develop EAVs/PLSs?

SSNAP reports were developed with:
  • patient groups
  • stroke survivors from the SSNAP steering group,
  • Speakeasy (a charity that supports people with communication difficulties like aphasia)
The report layouts, colours, symbols, and text size were discussed with stroke survivors.

As a result, SSNAP reports can be read by patients with aphasia, and their families and carers.

More detailed SSNAP reports are also available from the results area of the website.
