South Yorkshire Integrated Stroke Delivery Network

Goodbye! Although the SY Stroke network formally closes this week, there are still so many amazing teams and exceptional clinicians delivering great care for stroke survivors in South Yorkshire. We hope the collaborative nature of the ISDN continues long after we 've gone.💜

1 in 3 stroke survivors will feel like a burden to their loved ones this Christmas but it’s #StillChristmas. Watch and share this film to help more survivors and their families find support. Give the gift of stroke support this Christmas.

Great morning with @YorkshireSport & @SouthYorksMCA thinking about the importance of sport and exercise to lead healthy and happier lives in South Yorks, with a bit of #stroke in the mix. Thanks @RotherhamUnited for hosting!

Young people not only survive a stroke, but they also live with it. Alex, who had a stroke at 23, will live much longer with the effects of her stroke than she ever did without, & this can mean #MissedMilestones. Share Alex's story for #WorldStrokeDay & help others understand.

It's #WorldStrokeDay today 🧠 Everyday in the UK, 240 people wake up to the life-changing impact of a stroke. New research from @TheStrokeAssoc shows two-thirds of people in the UK don’t know stroke is the leading cause of complex adult disability. Let's keep it on the agenda

Thank you @MuniraWilson for hosting the #WorldStrokeDay debate in Westminster today, and for shining a light on the many challenges that so many stroke patients and survivors are expected to navigate alone, once discharged from hospital. 📢We need to #MakeStrokeAPriority.

Yesterday we went to meet the fabulous stepping Forward #stroke support group which promotes dance, nutrition and peer support as key elements to living well after a stroke. Hosted by @Dancing_4Health who got us all dancing.
