It’s National Stroke Week!
Remember the signs of stroke & call an ambulance ASAP!
F - face (is it droopy on one side?)
A - arms (can they lift both arms up?)
S - speech (is their speech slurry, confused, or can’t speak at all?)
T - time (call an ambulance!) @strokefdn @AusStroke

Congratulations to the #Melbourne #MobileStrokeUnit team – finalists in the CAA 2021 Awards for Excellence in Patient Care. Good luck to all nominees! @TheCouncilofAm1 @AmbulanceVic

We’re transforming urgent #stroke diagnosis & treatment, by road & air ambulance. Our first responders are part of a revolution in stroke intervention using #Australia’s best cloud-based comms. Next? World-first diagnosis from new brain scanning devices. #AuStrokeAlliance #MRFF

[RMH Neuroscience Foundation @rmhnf]

Stroke affects all Australians, but First Nations people are at greater risk. With a disproportionately negative impact on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, #AuStrokeAlliance clinicians are working towards a future where everyone can access life-changing treatments.

"We scan. We treat. And I see a patient get better in front of my eyes. There's no better feeling. They go from being severely disabled and by the time we get to hospital, they're speaking again." - radiographer, Francesca Langenberg. @ASMIRTConf #2021REVISION #AuStrokeAlliance

[Melbourne Brain Centre RMH @MBCRMH]

Many people connect #stroke with older age, but data shows 1 in 4 occur in younger people. It reiterates that the amazing research being pursued by our stroke group, in partnership with @AusStroke, is creating positive change for us all. #strokeawareness https://t.co/ly20sxQRww

The Mobile Stroke Ambulance in Melbourne has treated 10 times the number of patients within the #StrokeGoldenHour compared with a conventional hospital pathway. It has shaved-off an average of 41 minutes from diagnosis to treatment. #stroke #AuStrokeAlliance
