We also want to raise awareness for the BEFAST campaign 🧠 Balance, eyes, face, arm, speech, time 🏥 If you suspect a stroke, BEFAST and call 999 📞🚑

On this World Stroke Day we want to thank our amazing MDT Stroke Team for their continuous hard work in treating and caring for patients who have survived a stroke 🧠

It’s #WorldStrokeDay. Most common sign of a #stroke is sudden weakness of the face, arm, or leg, often on one side of the body. Other symptoms include dizziness, loss of balance and sudden difficulty speaking, seeing or walking. If you or someone you know experiences these symptoms, seek medical care immediately. 👉bit.ly/3bmxIL8
