🧠 Did you know? Black & South Asian communities are at higher stroke risk, often at younger ages. Factors like high BP, diabetes & lifestyle play a role. Raising awareness & spotting symptoms early is crucial! Let's spread the word 💚💙 #DifferentStrokes #NotJustTheElderly

[Stroke Association @TheStrokeAssoc]

Every day in the UK, over 240 people wake up after a stroke. Our new TV advert captures the life-changing impact a stroke can have on anyone, at any age, including children.

Our charity is here to help you find your strength through recovery, no matter how long it takes.

Repost to share the reminder this #WorldSuicidePreventionDay 👇

Sometimes the hardest words to say are the most important. By having more open conversations, we give people the chance to express how they feel and get the support they need. It could even save a life. 💚

🤔 Should blood pressure be lowered in ambulances for suspected stroke patients? The answer published today in this large trial is a clear no 🚫 (although some haemorrhagic stroke patients benefitted). Great study which will lead to more research into emergency stoke care 🤩 👏
