🧠 Recognition of #delirium requires both clinical knowledge and the ancient art of truly seeing the person before you.

Today is #StrokePreventionDay.

High blood pressure is a leading cause of stroke. But by monitoring your blood pressure regularly, you can significantly reduce your risk: https://t.co/zatIi9rMWK

Take it from Ian, who speaks from personal and professional experience. 👇 #SPD25

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]

Professor Mead added, “Place of death should be discussed, even though, in the event of stroke, hospital is the most likely. Unless we ask, we can’t facilitate.

Be open to questions from family:

“How long will it take to die?”

Discuss these issues with openness and kindness.

[UK Stroke Forum @UKStrokeForum]

At #UKSF24 Professor Gillian Mead spoke about bespoke palliative care for stroke patients.

“Early discussions about likely outcome could be more direct.

“Important to be open to what families are saying.

“Even as a senior clinician, I still find these conversations difficult.”

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

If you are not delivering a door to puncture time within an hour, then you’re not moving fast enough. #UKSF2024
