@tommys Great post. Very sorry for the parents loss. It’s learning to live with the void not trying to get over it.

[Ursula ferguson @euferguson]

Great to have this local coverage of a very important message. Act FAST if you have signs or symptoms of stroke.

To provide sustainable care, caregivers must take care of themselves. We recognise the important role that caregivers have and produced this valuable and helpful resource to help at a time that works for you to access.

Know the signs of stroke and act FAST

[Northern Ireland Chest Heart & Stroke @nichstweet]

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.

[Northern Ireland Chest Heart & Stroke @nichstweet]

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. ⏱️

It's International Women’s Day and Kim Colhoun from Saintfield is the epitome of what it means to be an inspiration.
