It was great to be at the Stroke All Party group today and discuss the progress made. We also made the group aware of our FAST campaign to raise awareness of stroke symptoms. We would be grateful for all support of our campaign to help increase public awareness.
Stroke is a medical emergency. If you spot ANY sign of stroke, don’t wait — call 999 immediately and get to hospital ASAP. Acting FAST can save a life and limit the long-term effects of stroke. ⏱️
Spent a Lovely day with our friends at Irish Heart Foundation Collaborating on joint priorities and sharing information. Good food and great company. Thank you. @Irishheart_ie
