BTH ASRU Stroke Therapy Team

🏃‍♀️ Our amazing Band 5 physio Lissy is running the Great North Run this September for @TheStrokeAssoc! In just 4 months on the ward, she’s made a huge impact on stroke recovery — now she’s going the extra mile (or an extra 13.1!) 💜 Support her here: #qrCode" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">ajbellgreatnorthrun2025.enthuse.com/pf/lissy-smith…

Happy Easter!! We’ve been busy this week with some Easter themed groups! 🐣🍪🥚 @TheStrokeAssoc @theRCOT @thecsp @BlackpoolHosp

The wonderful Lorraine from The Stroke Unit at @BlackpoolHosp recently held her own 'Choco-Bola' to raise money for her ward. Collecting eggs from local shops, schools, staff and even The Army Motorbike team she volunteers with! She raised more then £680 for The Stroke Unit!
