Still here to treat stroke and TIAs of all types. Don't delay attending! Staff are fully prepared and have PPE. Services adjusted to keep everyone as safe as possible. We are still assessing and sending for thrombectomy.

Let's not collude in the idea that 'retirement is time to put your feet up.' For better ageing, keep active, do things differently but stay out of the armchair mostly. Night night...

“It’s amazing what we can accomplish when are in it together” It’s important to keep in touch with people, and even more so for those with #Aphasia through these challenging times! A simple wave can bring a #smile to someone’s face.. ❤️💪🏻🗣🧠

Let's try and all stay in this together. Keep the distancing and safety measures up. Keep R0 down. Shield our most vulnerable and build their confidence, so that when lockdown is eased they feel part of society.

Departmental teaching on cerebellar strokes - lateralising signs and typical textbook cerebellar signs may be lacking. Gait analysis is key. Headache common, even without vertebral artery dissection. HINTS exam needs lots of practice to get slick.

Thank you NHS⭐️#research wouldn’t be possible without your invaluable support. Thank you to all trusts for recruiting participants onto the #OPTIMAS trial and continuing to recruit over the past four months of uncertainty. #strokeresearch #stroke #nhs

Face masks in enclosed public spaces are now the norm. If you don't have a good reason to be exempt, then you need to be on board with the national effort.

V impressed with EPIC My Care platform for Stroke Narrator. Quick clicks to recording an acute stroke encounter without paper; people; times; orders and outcomes. Should get slick with practice. Great for SSNAP Audit data.

V impressed with 'Stroke narrator' aspect of the EPIC MyCare electronic record. With practice it'll capture acute stroke data quickly and pull into an accurate record of patient journey. Goes live on 10th October.

Sounds a simple public health measure to reduce needless death and injury. But human nature behind the wheel proves otherwise. 20's plenty in residential areas.

We met this gent on holiday and he consented to photo. Amazing bike adapted for his left hemiparesis after stroke. Power assist, he uses right leg and arm and travels miles. ICE bikes do good adapted trikes too he says.
