281 people have a stroke every day.
Stroke prevention, treatment and recovery have to be a priority for the next UK Government. #GeneralElection
Things have to get better for stroke patients, survivors and families. Read more about how in our manifesto: bit.ly/3Ux2JDG
ALT Text reads, "Treating every patient who needs a thrombectomy could save the health and care system £73 million annually."
Asking disabled people to register to park rather than display their blue badge sounds like a completely unnecessary barrier to accessibility at a hospital (and an added source of stress if you get a ticket even if you paid)

I remember interviewing a 100yr old who travelled independently all over the world & didn't understand what the fuss was about. Love that this story came about the old-fashioned way, talking to a stranger on a plane ✈♥ @lepdavidnowell

Today we launch our manifesto with three asks of the next UK Government to improve stroke prevention, treatment and recovery.
If you share our vision to improve the lives of the 281 people who have a stroke every day, read our manifesto: bit.ly/3Ux2JDG
ALT Text on images corresponds with the 3 asks in the original text with a few additional icons to show a blood pressure monitor, a brain, and someone receiving rehabilitation.
Amazing work by NHS Grampian in using #AI to improve patient outcomes in #healthcare

This was such a valuable and insightful session with Dr Ferdinand and his fellow speakers today #UKSF23
“Young stroke is common, and the number of young strokes is increasing.”
Dr Philip Ferdinand spoke about young stroke not presenting in the ‘normal’ way, especially in young women.
The signs are often innocuous, causing worse outcomes due to delayed treatment. #UKSF23
Great first day at #UKSF23 in Birmingham, followed by a trip to the Christmas market 🎄 Looking forward to day 2 @ICC_Birmingham
Finally on my way to #UKSF23 after lots of train cancellations last night. Looking forward to some great sessions this afternoon @ICC_Birmingham
With a sellout attendance of almost 2,000, #UKSF23 promises to be our biggest (and best) yet, and we’re so excited to welcome you to @ICC_Birmingham tomorrow! 🐂
