What’s going on? An explosive record month for @VSTprogram with 419 calls, way more than pre-Covid (~250). Why?? All theories welcomed! Superb work from @AmbulanceVic stroke specialists and many others to support stroke care in regional hospitals. @strokefdn

To all Victorians, we want to thank you. Even as lockdown and this wave isn’t over just yet.
Because it's in the depths of our toughest moments that Victorians show up for each other. And it's exactly that spirit that’ll fuel us through this.

Stroke survivor Julie and our very own Prof. Chris Bladin @StrokeAus talk about how @VSTprogram is providing life-saving care. Julie suffered a large stroke last Tuesday but thanks to VST, is now home. Worth a listen! 👏🚑 m.soundcloud.com/user-189330…

Wonderful article by Bruce Campbell @TheRMH highlighting @VSTprogram and feasibility of multimodal CT stroke imaging even in small hospitals. More specific diagnosis, targeted transfers, reduce costs.
