Today is #WorldStrokeDay 🧠
In the UK, stroke strikes every 5 minutes.
It’s important to know the signs of stroke and act FAST so stroke patients can have a greater change of survival and rehabilitation ⏰

Loving the idea of a virtual coordinator- @JohnPierce85 describes a great piece of work on identifying and addressing the needs of people with communication disability after discharge @BasAphasia @BASConf2023 #BASConf23

[International BAS Conference 2023 @BASConf2023]

@MarianBrady @BasAphasia .@MarianBrady advocates that therapists be honest with their patients- tell them what the evidence says about dosage & support them to do home practice! @BasAphasia @BASConf2023 #BASConf2023

[International BAS Conference 2023 @BASConf2023]

The dosage and schedule of therapy is important to consider when delivering post-stroke aphasia therapy - the greatest gains we’re with 20-50hrs of speech therapy!!! @MarianBrady @BasAphasia @BASConf2023 #BASConf23 #BASConf2023 see link: https://t.co/1qGiyEQI77

Thank you for having me @BasAphasia And for all the questions and excitement around how we use therapy apps like UTILISE well to increase aphasia therapy dose in the future.
I had a wonderful first conference talk experience, thank you!

@SarahNorthcott8 @KaterinaHilari It would be great to know if there’s any inclusion/exclusion criteria to earmark specific patients! 🙏🏼

[Abbey Robinson @AbbeyJaneWatson]

@SarahNorthcott8 👏🏻👏🏻 @KaterinaHilari @SarahNorthcott8 This study looks so clinically relevant - particularly given all the research stressing that intensity and dosage are so important!! I’ll keep my eyes pealed in 2024 to support with signposting patients 🤓👀 1/2

[Abbey Robinson @AbbeyJaneWatson]

Buzzing with ideas after day #1 at @BASConf2023 🤓 There’s so much SLTs can do to help establish pathways & support the assessment and management of patients with PPA. Time to reflect, up-skill & start challenging the “clinical pessimism” for patients 🙏🏼🫵🏼 #BASConf23 @BasAphasia

[International BAS Conference 2023 @BASConf2023]

Prof Maya Henry describes script therapy as a spring board to conversation for people with #PPA AND results in improved fluency and grammatical well formedness- even for some time post therapy #BASConf23 @BASConf2023 @utaphasialabs
