It’s not SPEEDY results (yet) but still promising that severe stroke suitable for thrombectomy might be detectable prehospital in future 🚑 🧠 🪠 https://t.co/egeixumOzS

📣 SPEEDY trial protocol now published online in BMJ Open. See what was involved whilst waiting for the results 🤓 https://t.co/mhsxQsxxLG

Thousands of stroke patients in the UK are dying or being left with lifelong disability because the NHS does not have enough stroke specialists to deliver time-critical treatment. With stroke affecting around 100,000 people each year, delays in expert assessment, clot-busting drugs and thrombectomy mean that an estimated 10–20% of patients are left avoidably dead or more disabled than they should be. This is not a failure of medicine or technology, but a workforce crisis — and without urgent investment in specialist stroke teams, preventable harm will continue to rise. @TheStrokeAssoc

🍾👋 Farewell 2025 and the SPEEDY trial! After 3 years and >1100 SPEEDY 📞 it’s time to  see whether a simple direct admission pathway improves access to emergency thrombectomy for severe stroke. Many thanks to all SPEEDY supporters out there 🫶🤩. Results available later in 2026

[Speedy @Speedy_Trial]

📣 📣 Two reasons to celebrate 31/12/25. It’s not just the last day of 2025 but the LAST DAY OF SPEEDY 🥳. Enough patients will have met the SPEEDY 📞 criteria by then for us to know if the pathway should be recommended for routine 🚑 use. 
Last few days to 📞 before 2026 🤩

🌍 🧠 On World Brain Day it’s worth remembering that minutes matters for stroke: one minute faster thrombolysis saves one day of healthy life whilst for thrombectomy it can save one week ⏳⏩️ @BIASPstroke @NANSIG1 @TheStrokeAssoc #worldbrainday2025
