Stenting of the carotid arteries (running up the sides of the neck) is a common surgical procedure to reduce the risk of stroke.

Last week, our lecturers attended two training days at our head office, at Stroke Association House, London. These form part of a schedule of activity designed to ensure they have the skills, and support needed to succeed in becoming the next generation of research leaders.
