Just over two years ago I had a #stroke. Without research, I wouldn’t have been able to make the recovery I've made today.
Sadly, @TheStrokeAssociation has had to slash its funds for research. I'm proud to be supporting @TheStrokeAssociation's #SaveStrokeResearch campaign.

[Stroke Association @TheStrokeAssoc]

We're inviting people who have had a stroke or mini-stroke (TIA) to complete a survey about the #COVID-19 vaccine. We want to understand how you feel about the COVID-19 vaccine and if you have any concerns.

Please complete this survey to share your views: https://t.co/obbGGVCnfK

[Healthier Wigan @Healthier_Wigan]

We continue to make fantastic progress with the local COVID vaccination programme.
A huge well done to all the staff and volunteers working hard on this!

Last year, we launched our 'Getting Online for People with Aphasia’ guide that helped stroke survivors who have #aphasia with the skills they need to get online and use tools.

We now have 16 videos of this guide available to watch on YouTube: https://t.co/mMQzI1evrN

Dial 999 immediately for signs of a stroke:

Face-Ask them to😀. Does the smile look uneven?
Arms- Ask them to raise both arms. One arm drift down?
Speech-Their speech sound strange? Ask to repeat a phrase
Time-Call 999 at any of these signs

Please seek help when you need it 💙

Fantastic news Ian. Up the tics.

Walking first time in two and half years after I was told I'll never walk again @ThinkAheadWigan @TheStrokeAssoc

[GM Neurorehab & Integrated Stroke Delivery Network @GMNISDN]

It's #WorldStrokeDay. #Covid19UK means we can't mark it as usual so we thought we'd celebrate the great things we've done to improve #stroke care instead. Thanks to everyone who works with us - you're all amazing! @GM_HSC @NCAlliance_NHS @StrokeAssocNW https://t.co/gJ6EFcoU91

[A Stroke of Luck @AStrokeOfLuckUK]

Are you up to date with our 12-week stroke-specific exercise programme with @TheStrokeAssoc? Last week we released Week 11 (Let's Get Moving) - that means we're releasing our final video THIS WEEK! 💪

Catch up on the series so far: https://t.co/F0z3ey755O

Every five minutes, stroke destroys lives. Look out for our TV ad in October where stroke survivors share their experience in their own words.

Stroke still strikes every five minutes.

As the Coronavirus crisis continues, our income is falling & so is our ability to raise awareness.

We’re asking brands & organisations to consider donating advertising space to us to prevent this. Find out more: https://t.co/UE6UjKv0KB
