Huge thank you to both the First Minister @JohnSwinney and the Deputy First Minister @_KateForbes for their fantastic support in aid of our @CHSScotland Tartan Tea Party Fundraiser today ☕️🫖🧁#nolifehalflived
Silver in the £5 Million to £15 Million category is @CHSScotland with their film 'Act FAST | Know the symptoms of stroke, every second counts'.
Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland is Scotland’s largest health charity working to help people with chest, heart and stroke conditions and Long Covid live life to the full.
Their film sharply and directly raises awareness of the signs of stroke, highlighting that every second counts.

This is why @CHSScotland we say your rehab journey is lifelong. People tell us they were told they wouldn’t see any further improvement - then through our support they do. People who were told they wouldn’t walk or speak again. Or that six weeks post stroke no more could be done.
Honestly, next time a clinician tells you that no further recovery is possible beyond a year or so after your #stroke, ask them to explain the science behind their view. Some discussion of the 'plateau' from 16:45 here youtube.com/watch?v=IFUayZ97…… @PTcoach@M_j_G13@KnowStroke_Pod
