Thrombectomy is the difference between walking out of hospital, and being wheeled out.

It transforms a patients chances, of not only surving, but regaining their independence after stroke.

This includes my father in law. I am forever appreciative of stroke teams and their work

[StrokeAssociation NI @strokeassocni]

Over 40 healthcare professionals, politicians and stroke survivors attended a screening of a documentary about thrombectomy at Stormont to mark World Stroke Day 💜

Privileged to join colleagues from @TheLinksGroup and @CatsProtection at today's meeting with Ministers @Justice_NI @naomi_long and @daera_ni @AndrewMuirNI. Very positive discussion on collaborative working to support victim-survivors of domestic abuse, both people and animals.

[Laura Orr @LauraEHOrr]

Thanks @pivotalpolicy for the opportunity to write about a matter close to many hearts, dog welfare.

A ban on third party sale of puppies, regulation of rehoming organisations and improved breeding regulation will ensure that the dogs have their day!
