 We aim to recruit adult patients diagnosed with stroke or transient ischaemic attack TIA who were prescribed secondary preventative medication and are living in the community. They will be provided with a patient information sheet PIS with details on the study and will be contacted later to ask if they wish to take part. If so, an arrangement will be made for them to attend a clinic review where they will sign the consent form. Immediately then participants who consent will be randomized into control will receive education and motivation interviews but not text messages to remind them or intervention will receive education and motivation interviews and will be sent a daily text message to remind them of taking their medication. Baseline assessment will include medical history and medications prescribed. They will be given detailed information on their specific prescribed medication and will be handed booklets with relevant information. They will be asked to answer a medication adherence questionnaire and will be given a medication diary to fill in at home. All participants will receive ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.
