To paraphrase George Orwell, 'All stroke patients are equal, but some stroke patients are more equal than others.' Why should you be denied life-saving treatment because your stroke does not present itself with FAST symptoms?

Great progress for our campaign! But it’s time for the Scottish Government to end the inconsistency. If you should seek medical help because you’re suffering from a #BEFAST symptom, then why only promote FAST? It’s time to update FAST to #BEFAST scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/lifestyle/heal…

Momentum is growing for the BE FAST - Increasing Stroke Awareness in Scotland campaign! The Government must now update FAST to #BEFAST. It’s inconsistent for the Government to tell people to seek medical help for symptoms they don’t promote! scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/lifestyle/heal…

Detect more strokes. Save more lives. FAST could miss 1 in 5 strokes—that’s over 2,000 strokes a year in Scotland. By adding Balance & Eyes to FAST, we can detect more strokes and save lives. #BEFAST #StrokeAwareness #Scotland change.org/p/early-detect…

Yesterday's Scottish Government budget delivered a devastating blow to stroke and thrombectomy funding, resulting in a real-terms cut. The absence of universal thrombectomy services across Scotland is already costing lives, and this budget does nothing to fix this critical issue

The rollout of thrombectomy is always good news! But we don't have enough thrombectomy hours in Scotland, with nowhere in the country offering it on a 24/7 basis. We need 24/7 thrombectomy services in Scotland, now!
