When it comes to treating a #stroke, time is critical to improve the chances of a good recovery.
The #ActFAST campaign, led by @NHSEngland & @PHE_uk, helps you understand how to identify early signs of stroke and seek immediate help.

We live in a world where there is a lot going on, busy at home, busy at work, our mind is busy. We need to slow down, and walking helps to slow down.

We need @BSLHealthAccess, a video relay service that provides 24/7 access between Deaf people and health providers. It removes barriers and saves lives. @wesstreeting @SamTarry can you help ensure @NHSEngland continues funding this service beyond March 31?

On the 31st of March 2021, BSL Health Access will close.
This is devastating for those of us who have relied on the service throughout the pandemic. We are doing everything we can to secure the future of BSLHA.

No money, BSL Health Access is closing.
As it stands now, there is no funding confirmed for @BSLHealthAccess from the 1st April onward, so the service must close at the end of the month.

The current funding for BSLHA is coming to an end.
As social distancing measures and the roll out of the #COVID19 vaccine continues, the service has never been more needed.
We call for @NHSEngland to continue to fund this vital life-saving service.
Please share!

We are incredibly proud of @BSLHealthAccess and very worried about what will happen at the end of this month when current NHS funding ends.
@SignHealth spent £800k from reserves and can’t afford to spend more. Access to health in British Sign Language is a right not a privilege.
