Great day talking National issues in PEoLC @BakerIdris @LisaWooler @JackiePottleOT @MParry442 @ProfMarkTaubert @LynKenway

@Katie_Chappelle @huw4ogmore Really powerful account of Frans experience of stroke and the very real need to ensure people know that Stroke can happen to ANYONE, at ANY AGE and to call 999 without delay.

So good to speak at the reconvened Cross Party Group on #Stroke today to discuss the need for better awareness of Stroke. Thanks to @huw4ogmore for Chairing, but particular thanks to stroke survivor Fran for bravely sharing the story of her stroke at age 48

🙌We're thrilled to announce our new project supporting @WelshAmbulance clinicians in triaging suspected stroke patients! 🚑 With Visionable, ambulance clinicians can connect with stroke specialists in real-time for improved patient outcomes: rb.gy/vbg1v #nhs

We are at the Conwy Business Centre in Llandundo for our second Neurorehabilitation Workshop.  Neurological Conditions Co-ordinator, Rhiannon Edwards, is opening the day discussing the vision for the future of Rehabilitation. #NeuroRehab2023

Delighted to speak at @TheStrokeAssoc Amazing Brains event, where I shared my journey from despair to hope, from paralysis to skiing. I focused on the impact on mental health and family. I cried a bit, but I think that’s ok. It will be tough, but you’ve got this 👍#AmazingBrains

Today is #RareDiseaseDay!🎉 In just half an hour we launch our report, share our #CareForRare campaign and begin our day of raising awareness for the 3.5 million people living with a rare condition in the UK. With your help, we can make this year the biggest yet! Who's with us?

@RussInCheshire It was a nurse who watched over my Mum when she was in intensive care suffering repeated cardiac arrests. A nurse who supported her through her cancer treatment. #wortheverypenny #NHSWorkersNeedAPayrise

“The NHS relies on goodwill…it relies on people loving their job, but you just feel so undervalued.” Junior doctor, Josh, is compelling in his account of why so many NHS doctors, despite loving their job, are considering leaving the profession. @maitlis | @jonsopel
