Like reducing emergency care delays so that stroke survivors can access life-saving treatment quicker. But average ambulance are over 30 mins and many waiting over 4 hrs for specialist support putting lives and recovery at risk.

Thank you to Baroness Wheeler, Co-Chair of the APPG on Stroke, for championing support for working-age stroke survivors in the #HouseofLords today.

1 in 4 strokes happen to working-age people, and 1 in 3 in this group will have to give up their job.

An absolute pleasure to meet such a great group - all keen to support & expand their services for this time critical, life changing treatment.
Thank you to JnJ for the opportunity to share the experiences of Manchester Centre for Clinical Neurosciences &

Amazing to see stroke survivor James Mattless on the BBC The One Show surprising the doctor who saved his life by performing an emergency thrombectomy at Cambridge University Hospitals NHS.

Thrombectomy is a game-changing treatment that not only saves lives but improves quality of life, too. #TheOneShow

Remember F.A.S.T for the signs of a stroke.

Face – has their face fallen on one side? Can they smile?
Arms – can they raise both arms and keep them there?
Speech – is it slurred?
Time – it’s time to call 999.

When stroke strikes remember to Act F.A.S.T. nhs.uk/actFAST
