Are you a stroke survivor? 💜
Why not become a stroke befriender 👏
We’re seeking Volunteer Peer Befrienders to support patients in the @BelfastTrust Royal Victoria Hospital.
Today is often called “Blue Monday”, but it's also a chance to check in on your wellbeing.
If you’re balancing OU study with work, family or other pressures, you don’t have to cope alone.

Talking helps. Support is there.
It's #GlobalAFAwarenessWeek. AF or Atrial Fibrillation is one of the most common heart rhythm disorders and can increase your risk of stroke, but many people don’t realise they have it.
If you notice any symptoms, speak to your GP ASAP
