Venue: Arley Hall, Cheshire
Speaker: Dr Adrian Parry-Jones, University of Manchester
In late March 2022, we hosted an event at Cheshire's beautiful Arley Hall, which recently featured prominently in the hit BBC series, Peaky Blinders.
Dr Adrian Parry-Jones of the University of Manchester shared how he's helping to improve recovery outcomes for survivors of haemorrhagic stroke - which is still one of the most fatal and devastating types of stroke. Guests had the chance to hear a stroke survivor's story of inspirational recovery, and enjoyed access to Arley's splendid gardens alongside a free guided tour of the house.
Date: 27 April 2022
Venue: The Sage, Gateshead
Speaker: Professor Chris Price, University of Newcastle
In late April 2022, we hosted an event at The Sage in Gateshead, Tyneside's iconic concert venue.
Professor Chris Price of the University of Newcastle shared the latest news from his Stroke Association-funded project, into how a finger-prick blood test could be used to diagnose all types of stroke more accurately. This blood test could save precious time for those having a stroke, and improve outcomes for many stroke survivors. Giests also had the chance to hear a stroke survivor's story of inspirational recovery, and enjoyed a guided tour of The Sage.
