‘We would never give somebody half of a prescription or say, sorry, we've only got enough people to give you half of your operation.’
@SHazzard and stroke survivor David were on ITV Meridian to highlight critical understaffing and to call for investment in rehab.

Morning stroke teams - we’re looking at setting up some community exercise groups at @UHMBT and wondering if anyone has a copy of a referral form they use to refer their stroke patients in to the groups and wouldn’t mind sharing? Thanks in advance! ☺️

After her stroke, Samantha felt isolated and unsure where to turn. Then she discovered our private peer support Facebook.
Our community of stroke survivors is here to support you too—because no one should face recovery alone. 💬

When speaking about sex after stroke at #UKSF24, Jennifer Godber shared a quote from a carer.
‘When I looked at my partner, I no longer saw him, I just saw a to-do list.’
The challenges faced by stroke-affected couples can only be addressed if spoken about openly and honestly.

@DrTerryQuinn harnessing the messages from the Beatles, reminding us of the ‘long and winding road’ of life after stroke and the need for us to zoom out and consider stroke within the wider context of brain health, mental health, frailty #uksf24

Fatigue affects so many stroke survivors but much more work is needed to help. @dsimpsonphysio tells us guidelines recommend formal assessment but in practice this rarely happens.. and we don't have good trial evidence of treatments to help #uksf24
