Thank you Josh Miller for sharing SPEEDY with the Hereford students. With great support from the NHS 🚑 community we’ll soon know whether all future students need to learn how to make SPEEDY calls 🔮

⏰ go forward tonight but can we bring forward time to thrombectomy? Here’s a message of thanks to all NHS colleagues helping us find out 🚑 ⏱️ 🤝 #savingbrains

📣 Attention EMS practitioners who would like some free high quality CPD about 🚑 stroke care (and a SPEEDY update). All welcome to register👇🏻

🤩 A powerful example from UHNM about how thrombectomy changes lives. Great to visit the stroke team there today to update them about SPEEDY. Together we can show how the NHS can increase these amazing outcomes 🙏🏻

This 2 minute animation from the Stroke Association explains thrombectomy and the challenge of providing rapid treatment everywhere. SPEEDY will show how emergency care for stroke patients can be made fairer across the NHS 🫶🏻   #savingbrains

🤩 Fantastic to hear that the first SPEEDY patient for South Central 🚑 has arrived at Southampton. Thank you everyone 🚀 👏

Great to see our first patient admitted directly to University Hospital Southampton 💙 with an LVO for mechanical thrombectomy this afternoon from north Hampshire as part of Speedy. A great study involving our stroke team and South Central Ambulance Service Wessex Neurological Centre

📣 Latest UK model shows 15% stroke patients should have life changing thrombectomy. SPEEDY 🚑 🏥 are creating vital evidence about quickly finding and treating the 1 in 7 🫶🏻 #MakeTheCall #savingbrains ⁦David Hargroves 💙⁩ ⁦Stroke Association⁩ journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/23…

🤩 Much faster treatment following direct ambulance admission to thrombectomy centres in New York. Can SPEEDY turn the NHS 🍐 into the big🍏? #MakeTheCall #FASTandSPEEDY ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/SV…

🤩 A special Team SPEEDY meeting today. So many great ideas from 🚑 colleagues 🙏🏻. To be continued….

🤔 Why SPEEDY? 70% of people live in 🔵 zones where hospitals CAN’T offer thrombectomy on site and transfers delay treatment ⏳. SPEEDY is showing whether thrombectomy direct admission 🔴 zones should be expanded for selected 🚑 patients #MakeTheCall #SavingBrains

📢 🤩 Delighted to welcome the South Central Ambulance Service and Southampton stroke team who go live TODAY as the 4th region helping to deliver the SPEEDY trial 🤝🙏🏻 #MakeTheCall #SpeedyLaunch #savingbrains

🤩 inspiring to hear James’s story. Let’s keep working together to create evidence that will offer more patients the opportunity for faster thrombectomy 🚑 🧠 🪠
