It’s not SPEEDY results (yet) but still promising that severe stroke suitable for thrombectomy might be detectable prehospital in future 🚑 🧠 🪠 ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/…

📣 SPEEDY trial protocol now published online in BMJ Open. See what was involved whilst waiting for the results 🤓 bmjopen.bmj.com/content/16/1…

Thousands of stroke patients in the UK are dying or being left with lifelong disability because the NHS does not have enough stroke specialists to deliver time-critical treatment. With stroke affecting around 100,000 people each year, delays in expert assessment, clot-busting drugs and thrombectomy mean that an estimated 10–20% of patients are left avoidably dead or more disabled than they should be. This is not a failure of medicine or technology, but a workforce crisis — and without urgent investment in specialist stroke teams, preventable harm will continue to rise. @TheStrokeAssoc

🍾👋 Farewell 2025 and the SPEEDY trial! After 3 years and >1100 SPEEDY 📞 it’s time to see whether a simple direct admission pathway improves access to emergency thrombectomy for severe stroke. Many thanks to all SPEEDY supporters out there 🫶🤩. Results available later in 2026

📣 📣 Two reasons to celebrate 31/12/25. It’s not just the last day of 2025 but the LAST DAY OF SPEEDY 🥳. Enough patients will have met the SPEEDY 📞 criteria by then for us to know if the pathway should be recommended for routine 🚑 use.
Last few days to 📞 before 2026 🤩

📣 SPEEDY on the platform at the UK Stroke Forum in Aberdeen today. Trial lead Dr Lisa Shaw reminded the audience about its huge scale and the vital role of 🚑 services for making it possible. Not long until some important SPEEDY news but for now please keep on calling ☎️ 🙏
Excited to be sharing our work at UK Stroke Forum next week when Lisa presents data about lateral flow GFAP detection of haemorrhagic stroke 🤩
Our high-scoring authors are ready to share research that’s shaping the future of stroke care.
Don’t miss these sessions – proof that hard work pays off! #UKSF25
ALT Tuesday 25 November. 13:30 - 14:30. High scoring abstracts. Dr Alice Hosking: The prognosis of ischaemic stroke and intracranial haemorrhage imaging-based subtypes: matched cases and controls in healthcare systems data. Dr Lisa Shaw: Prospective diagnostic accuracy evaluation of a rapid lateral flow test to detect intracranial haemorrhage during emergency stroke assessment. Dr Wenbo Zhao: Intra-arterial Thrombolysis after Successful Thrombectomy Recanalisation: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials. Professor Leeanne Carey: Evidence-based upper-limb sensory rehabilitation in Australia: A national network approach via SENSe CONNECT. Dr Juan Pablo Saa: Mapping higher-level cognition in the first year post-stroke across countries.

It’s World Stroke Day and an opportunity to say thank you to all 🚑 staff who provide emergency assessment and care when stroke suddenly threatens to change a life. Your role is vital for starting pathways that provide the best chance for turning back the 🧠 🕰️. 🙏#WorldStrokeDay
Great to be helping with the development diagnostic technology which could revolutionise ambulance stroke assessment 🤩
New trial alert! 🧠

🌍 🧠 On World Brain Day it’s worth remembering that minutes matters for stroke: one minute faster thrombolysis saves one day of healthy life whilst for thrombectomy it can save one week ⏳⏩️ @BIASPstroke @NANSIG1 @TheStrokeAssoc #worldbrainday2025
🧠 Today is #WorldBrainDay. Did you know:
✅ Over 80% of strokes can be prevented
✅ Secondary prevention after a TIA or stroke can cut risk of another by up to 80%
