Talking to a patient in my 6 month review clinic, his posterior signs were not picked up by #FAST but were represented in #BEFAST .
Is it time to look at the use Nationally of BEFAST, and raise awareness of posterior #stroke symptoms?
#StrokeAwareness
@UWE_NMP thank you for a wonderful course, I am truly excited to my future ahead as an independent prescriber and will always remember the last 6months. #uwe#Nursing#thefuture πππ»βοΈ
Clots3 was a game changer with NICE changing guidelines on use of Intermittent pneumatic pressure stockings to prevent post stroke thrombosis and resultant PEs &mortality. Thrombectomy trials have moved Thrombectomy up the priority list for Acute care.Reduce physical dis. #stroke
Great visits today to the Early Supported Discharge for Stroke team at Milford hospital and the Bradley unit in Woking Community Hospital. Wonderful to see such effective high morale MDTs in action in both locations - thank you! @ASPHFT@SuzRankin @suenaidoo73 @BeTheChangeASPH
