Amber Masterson Eirini Kontou 💙 After 19 yrs of living with the effects of my trauma induced stroke in2005 I’m so frustrated with the continuous reference to recovery from stroke. Recovery implies returning to where you were pre stroke and is finite. Better to talk about #improvement which is infinite

Interesting afternoon with Imperial College Health Partners Clare Thomson 💙 exploring innovations in optimizing management of cardiovascular disease across North West London. Excellent opportunities for networking and collaboration with stakeholders across the ICS.

You can never say I have heard enough #lifeafterstroke stories, each provides a new nugget of information or perspective. Thank you The Bats Man for making me re-evaluate the impact of hemianopia - ‘in your home you don’t expect the unexpected’ + the emotional effects.

Jeremy Johnston was devastated when loss of peripheral vision stopped him driving. But thanks to rugby legend Michael Lynagh, orthoptist Dr Claire Howard, and a lucky encounter in a ski resort, he’s back behind the wheel and believes others could be too bit.ly/45FO1wQ

Thank you Stacie Broek for an honest and moving account of the emotional turmoil, the sadness of relationships lost and latching on to your passion in #lifeafterstroke Avril Drummond💙 European Stroke Org

Interesting insights from Grethe Lunde ‘having one person through the stroke journey’ that is yours really helps to smooth the transition from hospital to home #lifeafterstroke

Discussing all things #TIA and #minorstroke and #lifeafterstroke with Grace Turner and Birgitte Hede Ebbesen #collaboration at European Life after Stroke conference in Dublin

#lifeafterstroke 'Everyone treats you, but no one treats you as a whole' . Great points from Michael Brinkmeier on trying to improve care post- stroke from German perspective.

#lifeafterstroke more shocking figures about stroke, this time from Katherine Staley Stroke Association BUT huge potential to address in providing peer support.

A stroke affects vision in two-thirds of survivors.

The Brain Injury Associated Visual Impairment Impact Questionnaire (BIVI-IQ) can help health professionals assess the impact of visual problems on quality of life.

A 'stroke navigator' for #lifeafterstroke who supports the person + their families to navigate complex health systems for 12 months post stroke. Sounds brilliant 👏 we could learn so much from this German system. Let's listen to what service users tell us... They ask for this!
