Please re-Tweet to raise awareness that #stroke is a major #womenshealth, #dementia and #caregiving issue.

Based on the results of AcT and preceding meta-analyses of TNK, Service de neurologie du CHUM officially transitioned to TNK this week for all our thrombolysis-eligible stroke patients. A new thrombolytic era begins, thanks in large part to Canadian stroke research! AcT RRCT CHUM

It’s that time again. I’ll be getting my high dose influenza vaccination later this month when they become available, you should as well!

Amazing news for our colleague, Dr Peter Stys who is breaking new ground in MS research! DCNS Calgary @MSSocietyCanada Canadian Neurological Sciences Federation @AHS_Innovates

If you want to understand how insulting some of the remarks from our 'leadership' have been recently, read this. Absolutely excellent thread from a superb academic clinician @atrembla

Outstanding summary of the extensive contributions made by Alberta MDs, researchers, leaders, and patients to cutting edge evidence for the management of COVID over the last 3 years. Our unelected premier dismisses it all. Danielle Smith please get your facts straight.

Anyone else thinking it might be time to delete Twitter from their devices? Am not loving the new management. Maybe time to vote with our feet?

Hey YYC line up for A gate at the airport is insane…is it any better at B?

Prove it, Premier. #ableg

So many questions today: Hey Alberta Health Where does specialty care fit into your new plan? Some of the best specialty care on the planet happens in Alberta where specialty clinics co-habitate in the hospitals. Uncertainty and chaos leads to burnout.

Hey Alberta Health curious where you will find all these nurse practitioners who will run community clinics in lieu of family docs? There is a massive shortage.

Hey Alberta Health , didn’t hear any mention of harm reduction in your announcement of a new Ministry for Addiction and Mental Health. Adequate harm reduction support in Alberta could have saved hundreds of lives this year. That’s an evidence-based strategy…will it be supported?

Hey Alberta Health sounds like you plan to sell off care facilities for seniors. Remember how that played out in Quebec during COVID? Private facility workers abandoned their patients and the military had to be brought in. How is that better? How is this not privatization?

Human rights should never be ignored when choosing a conference location. The World Stroke congress should never have been held in a location where basic human rights and therefore the safety of participants can not be guaranteed. Stroke Research thelancet.com/journals/lance…
