๐ Sport as a fan & paramedic, @WarringtonRLFC well-being/ leadership coach and performance analyst. Also improving local/national stroke care within ๐ and ๐ฅ
Been reflecting & looking back a lot this week on my years in front line duties on the road, itโs amazing all them incidents we put to the back of our minds.....I do miss many many aspects of the team camaraderie though. This reflects my very thankful journey with @NWAmbulance ๐๐ป
Fantastic prehospital session @UKStrokeForum with excellent presentations from @Speedy_Trial@ChrisAshton1@adrianpj1 @healthinnovation https://t.co/1H3xTqfQOm suggesting association with improved functional independence at discharge, plus known <mimics, with #PVT@NHSEngland ๐
A bit surreal to be sat within the panel and presenting on this main stage to all these passionate stroke clinicians today at the 2024 UK Stroke Forum Conference in Liverpool. #uksf24#stroke#prehospital
Of the 15% of eligible stroke patients, 3.9% receive a thrombectomy
โA real access problem,โ said Lisa Shaw at #UKSF24 who is exploring the SPEEDY pathway
A realtime tool to improve rates by assessing the viability of direct-to-thrombectomy treatment in the prehospital setting.

A pleasure yesterday to present the analysis of @SSNAPaudit pre hospital stroke care data across the national population @ESOstroke. A first study of its kind in the UK. Understanding all elements of the pre hospital stroke pathway further is key to improving our stroke care ๐ง ๐
Results from pre-hospital BP management in INTERACT-4 study. While overall neutral results, improvements in patients with ICH were seen. More reason to have pre-hospital brain imaging to differentiate early treatments. Paper now out.
#ESOC2024
Last 90 min slot of the day is focussing on ๐ pre hospital care but this is far from the least important for stroke ๐ง care @ESOstroke#loadsofroomtoimprove
The NHS in England currently employs around 1.5 million people, making it the largest employer in England. The largest staff group is nurses and health visitors, but how many people are employed in other groups? Find out in our workforce nutshell. https://t.co/xhvZWXAa42
Very interesting data (Tactics trial) shows patients are 44% more likely to receive stroke reperfusion therapy when using virtual reality headset training at PSCs. Suggestive of investment in virtual training and learning through no harm mistakes ๐ค & visual scoring @ESOstroke
Basel๐จ๐ญfor this years conference. Excited to be attending #ESOC24, connecting with passionate Stroke experts, and learn about the latest insights from clinical trials. Sharing some exciting early national pre-hospital data for @SSNAPaudit@ESOstroke
It was great to meet the Scholarship players at @WarringtonRLFC when our Health and Wellbeing Programme Manager Paul Wood delivered an engaging workshop on stress, awareness, trust & how valuable it can be to have close connections with people who can help you achieve your goals.
@SkySportsRL fuming. You canโt advertise a NRL game then just donโt show it. You wouldnโt do that for football! We pay for a service and you change it at the last minute #fuming
In our Princess Margaret Memorial Lecture, Professor @OrthopticBrain spoke about vision and stroke, and her ambitions and efforts to embed orthoptic care in stroke services.
