We are very sad to hear of the death of speech and language therapist Carole Pound, who made a significant contribution to the profession, particularly in the field of aphasia. Our thoughts are with her family at this difficult time.  theguardian.com/society/2024/o…

Honestly, next time a clinician tells you that no further recovery is possible beyond a year or so after your #stroke, ask them to explain the science behind their view. Some discussion of the 'plateau' from 16:45 here youtube.com/watch?v=IFUayZ…… @PTcoach Mike Garrow Know Stroke

Very pleased to have this paper in Aphasiology. We analysed first-hand descriptions of inner speech written by people with aphasia to shed light on theoretical and clinical questions. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

“Stroke survivors are self-motivated to make meaningful change […] but clinicians often lack optimism when speaking to stroke survivors and discussing their goals.” To reduce secondary stroke risk, clinicians need to be more encouraging, said Dr Olive Lennon at #UKSF24.

Currently, 1 in 7 strokes are young stroke. But strokes in people under 55 are increasing at a higher rate than in older people… and the prognosis of stroke in younger patients is “not benign”. “Worrying change in epidemiology of younger stroke”. Linxin Li at #UKSF24.👆

Stroke survivor, Pippa Faunce-Smith, who has aphasia, outlined a few issues that damages the wellbeing of those in recovery. ▪️Feeling told off. ▪️Talked about. ▪️Not listened to. ▪️Not supported to communicate. “Notice the person, not just the deficit.” #UKSF24

At #UKSF24 Professor Gillian Mead spoke about bespoke palliative care for stroke patients. “Early discussions about likely outcome could be more direct. “Important to be open to what families are saying. “Even as a senior clinician, I still find these conversations difficult.”
