🧠 Did you know? Black & South Asian communities are at higher stroke risk, often at younger ages. Factors like high BP, diabetes & lifestyle play a role. Raising awareness & spotting symptoms early is crucial! Let's spread the word 💚💙 #DifferentStrokes #NotJustTheElderly

Repost to share the reminder this #WorldSuicidePreventionDay 👇
Sometimes the hardest words to say are the most important. By having more open conversations, we give people the chance to express how they feel and get the support they need. It could even save a life. 💚

🤔 Should blood pressure be lowered in ambulances for suspected stroke patients? The answer published today in this large trial is a clear no 🚫 (although some haemorrhagic stroke patients benefitted). Great study which will lead to more research into emergency stoke care 🤩 👏
In the INTERACT4 trial involving 2404 patients with acute stroke and elevated blood pressure, ambulance-delivered systolic blood-pressure reduction did not result in better functional outcomes than usual care. Full trial results: nej.md/3ysx39I #ESOC2024

🤩 A powerful example from UHNM about how thrombectomy changes lives. Great to visit the stroke team there today to update them about SPEEDY. Together we can show how the NHS can increase these amazing outcomes 🙏🏻

Time is brain: Timely intervention prevents a certain death.
A doctor from another hospital collapsed while working with a life-threatening basilar stroke. Was airlifted to @UHNM_NHS and was rapidly deteriorating and probably moments away from respiratory arrest and irreversible brain damage/death. Thrombectomy performed in a timely manner and patient made a complete recovery within 24 hours and discharged home. Nice of them to come back with a thank you card and a box of chocolate. @UHNMCharity @TheStrokeAssoc
