Teaching is one of the highlights of my job. It’s fantastic to have received this award and to see our efforts to promote research skills and clinical academic careers recognised. Thanks to VPD Heart & Lung Research Institute for their ongoing support!

Well done to the team on putting this review together. There is a lot that we could be doing with the clot to improve secondary prevention.

East Anglia will be particularly affected by the ageing population over the coming decades. Now is the time to act to reduce the burden of frailty and multimorbidity in order to promote healthy ageing.

Time to go with the flow! Knowing vascular anatomy is the first step to reading any angiogram These are the key vessels you need to know! Then I always remember to check for pathology using the mnemonic ANGIO to remind me what to look for: A = aneurysms, arteriovenous

Registration for the 2025 UK Stroke Research Workshop has opened! Please make sure you read our registration instructions. The abstract deadline is the 13th of June, so if you haven’t submitted one yet a reminder to do so before then! Website link: strokeworkshop.uk

A great programme and opportunity for all those working in stroke and interested in research - opportunity to submit abstracts Cam Neuroscience International Journal of Stroke

Amazing weather for our ASPIRE PPIE event in Hunstanton today. We had a fantastic turnout and lots of discussions about what, where, and how we do stroke research in the East of England. No trip to the seaside would be complete without ice cream! NIHR Cambridge Biomedical Research Centre VPD Heart & Lung Research Institute

We're taking action to speed up the discovery of life-saving drugs, improve patient care and make the UK the best place in the world for medical research. This new drive could set the UK on a path to cure cancer, dementia, and arthritis quicker. Details: gov.uk/government/new…

Frailty is associated with poor outcomes following major trauma, but this can be mitigated to an extent by frailty-friendly care academic.oup.com/ageing/article… #BGSconf

And finally, Maeve D'Alton presenting on factors associated with high adherence to secondary prevention at 1 year post stroke - more disabling stroke (as measured by modified Rankin score) and presence of an involved caregiver were positively associated #BGSconf

We are absolutely delighted by this further donation to VPD Heart & Lung Research Institute which will help us deliver on our mission to improve cardiovascular and lung health for everyone, no matter where they live!
