Interesting Holyrood story on using AI to predict risk of #stroke. High-risk individuals can be identified, but what about the capacity to intervene and reduce risk before the stroke happens? An ideal role for GPs if they can take it on. holyrood.com/news/view,scot…

Over half of adults in Scotland are closely connected to stroke - either having had a stroke themselves, or seen a close friend or family member affected. Yet #stroke doesn't feel like it's a priority. Here's my thoughts on how we make it so...... alliance-scotland.org.uk/blog/opinion/o…

Fantastic StrokeAssocScotland reception in the Parliament last night. Great chance to profile our recent report on the state of play for stroke, and make the case for getting #stroke right as a core part of NHS recovery stroke.org.uk/scotland/campa…

We have joined with Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland | also on bluesky to call on Scottish Government to invest part of the additional £1bn allocated to the Westminster Block Grant to ensure every stroke patient eligible for thrombectomy in Scotland can have it. Here’s why👇#MakeStrokeAPriority

Take a few mins to read this fab piece in the The Sunday Post - hear Stuart Cassells from Red Hot Chili Pipers tell the story of his #stroke, and his recovery journey. This is what it's all about..... pressreader.com/uk/the-sunday-… Full disclosure - quote from me too 👍 StrokeAssocScotland

"Stroke services at risk of cuts" is not a welcome story, but that's the reality. This piece reflects concerns from StrokeAssocScotland and Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland | also on bluesky on the likely impact of a real-terms cut for thrombectomy in the Scottish budget ... healthandcare.scot/stories/4020/s…
