The UK Stroke Assembly events have been running since 2011. Each year our UK Stroke Assembly community continues to flourish as we explore and reach further into new areas around the country, encouraging and empowering new voices of stroke to attend our event
UKSA 2020
In 2020 we held of first-ever virtual UK Stroke Assembly events. We delivered two six-week programmes, reaching over 555 people affected by stroke of which 96% had never attended an event like this before. We worked with over 40 speakers and hosted a total of 24 online webinars.
Despite not being able to meet face to face, 2020's virtual event brought our community together to share experiences, find support and inspire others.
