During February and March pharmacies across Wales are joining the Lower Your Risk of Stroke campaign, a partnership between Community Pharmacy Wales, Public Health Wales and the Stroke Association.
Our campaign report on the real impact of mini-stroke (also known as transient ischaemic attack or TIA).
Professor Audrey Bowen, from the University of Manchester, is funded by the Stroke Association to carry out research into strategies for coping with cognitive difficulties after stroke. Like many researchers across the UK, Professor Bowen’s work has been affected by the pandemic.
We’re at a turning point for stroke in Wales. The Welsh Government’s Stroke Delivery Plan ends in 2021, so we’re calling on them to develop a new national, strategic plan outlining their approach to stroke care for the future.
Our campaign aims to secure a commitment from the government for a new stroke strategy to improve the care, support and treatment of stroke survivors.
The coronavirus pandemic has disrupted many stroke survivors’ recoveries. That’s why long-term improvements to stroke treatment and care are more vital than ever.
Since his stroke in 2016, Paul McLean, from County Armagh, has committed himself to supporting other survivors through volunteering, fundraising and, most recently, by becoming one of the stars of our Rebuilding Lives campaign.
People told us that recovery means different things to different people. Find out what life is really like after a stroke in our Life After Stroke campaign summary.
Our survey of almost 2,000 stroke survivors and their carers from across the UK found that the Covid-19 pandemic has affected every aspect of stroke treatment and care.
