“Stroke survivors are self-motivated to make meaningful change […] but clinicians often lack optimism when speaking to stroke survivors and discussing their goals.”
To reduce secondary stroke risk, clinicians need to be more encouraging, said Dr Olive Lennon at #UKSF24.

Currently, 1 in 7 strokes are young stroke.
But strokes in people under 55 are increasing at a higher rate than in older people… and the prognosis of stroke in younger patients is “not benign”.
“Worrying change in epidemiology of younger stroke”.

At #UKSF24 Professor Gillian Mead spoke about bespoke palliative care for stroke patients.
“Early discussions about likely outcome could be more direct.
“Important to be open to what families are saying.
“Even as a senior clinician, I still find these conversations difficult.”

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

We are very sad to hear of the death of speech and language therapist Carole Pound, who made a significant contribution to the profession, particularly in the field of aphasia. Our thoughts are with her family at this difficult time. theguardian.com/society/2024…
