A landmark day for stroke care in NI. The hard work & determination of stroke physicians, interventionists and wider stroke community , the tireless campaigning by @nichstweet and @strokeassocni and the voice of stroke survivors has made possible 24/7 thrombectomy a reality .

#MondayTip 🧠

🌍From #ESOC2026 to practice: stroke care is moving across the whole pathway: BP control, imaging, EVT selection, adjunctive therapies, cooling, mobility & recovery.

☝️Better outcomes will come from better systems, sharper selection, and evidence-based details

Our first #StrokeConferenceNI session focused on the progress made in improving stroke care.

The consensus between speakers was that progress has been made… but there’s much more that can be done to ensure stroke patients and survivors make the best recovery possible in NI.
