[✨Colette Crookes 🐿️✨ @colette_squiz]

Such a brilliant time at this years @UKStrokeForum 🧠📚 loved the talks this year particularly FND, women’s health and pneumonia 🫁 but best of all getting to network with so many of my @LSC_ISNDN colleagues 🫶🏻

[Abby Wade @AGunnSLT]

Another very well presented and insightful presentation 🫀🧠

[Muath @malobaida1]

An insightful talk by @AzmilAbdulRahim on stroke heart syndrome at #UKSF2024 🧠🫀
Conclusion: understanding the brain-heart connection is key to improving stroke recovery and outcomes. @LiverpoolCCS

[Abby Wade @AGunnSLT]

This!!!!
All conditions deserve to be funded and supported but it surprised me that we’re still in this boat. We must be able to do better for our #strokesurvivors
#UKSF2024

[Dr Louisa Burton @LouisaJBurton01]

Stroke research remains underfunded in the UK when compared with other conditions #uksf24

[Abby Wade @AGunnSLT]

Really well presented, thank you for such helpful insights. Looking forward to taking this back to our teams!

Interesting presentation from Dr Das this morning on Functional Neurological Disorders (FND) Information rich and a great insight into how we can better manage this cohort of patients @LSC_ISNDN @Stroke_Unit_RPH 🧠 #FND #Stroke

[Abby Wade @AGunnSLT]

Very interesting and motivational talk by Dr Hill yesterday from a Canadian perspective 💭

[UK Stroke Forum @UKStrokeForum]

Dr Michael Hill emphasised the importance of speed in thrombectomy.

“We’re not tidy - sacrifice everything for speed.

“If not under 60 minutes from door-to-puncture, you’re not going fast enough.”

But even the fastest thrombectomy services in England take over 2 hours. #UKSF24

[UK Stroke Forum @UKStrokeForum]

“Stroke is universally stressful so the high levels of anxiety and depression experienced by survivors are not surprising and almost normal.

“Stroke increases suicidal ideation and risk of death by suicide, especially in survivors under 60.”

Prof Niall Broomfield at #UKSF24.👆

[Deb Lowe💜 @Deborah71247971]

On #WorldStrokeDay it is so important that everyone recognises the signs of stroke and can quickly access care by calling 999. New FAST campaign coming soon 📺 @NHSEngland - get help quickly to ensure the best possible recovery and life after stroke @TheStrokeAssoc

[UHMB Integrated Community Stroke Team @UHMBICST]

🧠Today is #WorldStrokeDay - thank you!

A big thank you to our incredible and dedicated healthcare workers who make a real difference to stroke survivors. Your work helps the patients and their families to rebuild their lives after a stroke💜

[Hannah Boyd @HannahISNDN]

The Stroke Research Team at UCLan is hosting a community event ‘Stroke Matters’ with activities for all the family on Sunday 17th November, 10am-2pm, at the Catherine Beckett Centre, 112 Deepdale Road, Preston, PR1 5AR. Please spread the word! #StrokeMatters @LSC_ISNDN

[SLT.UHMBT @SLTuhmbt]

Our team member @StevefligSLTA is doing the epic Keswick to Barrow walk in May to raise funds for @bayhospitals and @FghStroke
Please sponsor anything you feel you can to support him and the great charities.
Follow Steve for more updates!

[Nick Ward @dr_nickward]

1 in 4 adults will have a stroke. New national guidelines now recognise that neurorehab helps recovery - even years after stroke, but staffing levels too low to allow delivery. Need innovative thinking and funding for services and research @TheStrokeAssoc https://t.co/7v5FSTG6Lq

[Abby Wade @AGunnSLT]

We’re still looking for a motivated and experienced #SLT to come and join our lovely team!
Please share/get in touch with any questions!! 🗯️🧠🎂
