Prof Pippa Tyrrell - what a woman 💜 Honoured to be in a room full of people sharing their memories and love of this great researcher, clinician, mentor, friend, wife and mum. Not a dry eye in the house when the Stroke Association NW stroke choir sang 🎶 #makeyourownkindofmusic

As we approach #globalmndawarenessday tomorrow, I just wanted to share a few thoughts True Anna style, I tried to record myself but as MND takes over I didn’t think involuntary smiling and laughing was appropriate Please take some time tomorrow to think of the #mndcommunity

It’s been an absolutely pleasure working within the Network. Such an amazing core team and fantastic GM wide stroke and neurorehabilitation teams dedicated to improving patient care and rehabilitation.

Well done to all the winners - great posters sharing the phenomenal work to drive improvements for patient care across GM
