Thrombectomy not only saves lives – it restores quality of life. But too many stroke patients miss out on this game-changing treatment, due to service delivery constraints.
Thank you @FoysolChoudhury for championing round-the-clock treatment to #MakeStrokeAPriority in Scotland.

📢 When a government fails to plan and prioritise care, it’s the most vulnerable who suffer.
Despite a clear commitment to deliver round-the-clock treatment, hundreds of patients are still being denied access to thrombectomy, one of the most effective and time-critical stroke interventions available.

Here at UHD, volunteers play a priceless role in our hospitals as they go about their tasks and improve people’s lives, whether that’s patients, visitors, or staff. A big thank you to Ryan here for explaining why he enjoys volunteering so much 🤗

Volunteers contributed 6 million hours to support the NHS over the last year.
Huge thanks to our 70,000 volunteers – including Maja and Alan – who go the extra mile to support NHS staff, patients and communities.

Almost two years ago, Mark suffered from a stroke, which left him unable to use his left arm or walk.
With the help of physiotherapist Zoe and the team at @UHSussex, Mark regained his independence, returned to work and can now walk unaided.

Fabulous event today with the Stroke Association and sponsored by Stratford and Bow MP Uma Kumaran. Highlighting the importance of specialist stroke care. Crucial that we continue to make stroke a priority if we are to prevent strokes and reduce mortality and disability.

'Rehabilitation is often secondary prevention.'
A point well made by @WesStreeting. 👆
Improved access to rehabilitation would support more stroke survivors to recover well, reduce their risk of another stroke, prevent hospital readmission, and reduce future demand on the NHS.

I did another half marathon - 30 mins faster than just a few months ago. Who says you can’t keep improving in your stroke recovery with a dollop of determination and good rehab. #thrivingafterstroke @TheStrokeAssoc

Brilliant opportunity to share the positive impact that having an advanced practice role in stroke rehabilitation in the community has had on both the lives of people after stroke, their families and the wider stroke MDT. Thank you Alison Whear #UKSF2024

@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

#UKSF24 Prof Terry Quinn - excellent presentation challenging the stroke community to “zoom out”… rather than focussing in, specialising too far and working in silos. Priorities - recognising multimorbidity, frailty awareness, social determinants, rehab and life after stroke.
