Stroke Team @Wye Valley NHS Trust

Today is world stroke day. Let’s celebrate all stroke survivors. Let’s get more active, check our blood pressure regularly , know the signs of a stroke and act quickly @TheStrokeAssoc #stroke #StrokeAwareness # world stroke day

🧠 Did you know? Black & South Asian communities are at higher stroke risk, often at younger ages. Factors like high BP, diabetes & lifestyle play a role. Raising awareness & spotting symptoms early is crucial! Let's spread the word 💚💙 #DifferentStrokes #NotJustTheElderly

Every day in the UK, over 240 people wake up after a stroke. Our new TV advert captures the life-changing impact a stroke can have on anyone, at any age, including children. Our charity is here to help you find your strength through recovery, no matter how long it takes.

Repost to share the reminder this #WorldSuicidePreventionDay 👇 Sometimes the hardest words to say are the most important. By having more open conversations, we give people the chance to express how they feel and get the support they need. It could even save a life. 💚

Ready. Set. Go get ready for #WorldStrokeDay! Head over to our fresh out of the box website and get everything you need to join this year’s #GreaterThan campaign this October.

🤔 Should blood pressure be lowered in ambulances for suspected stroke patients? The answer published today in this large trial is a clear no 🚫 (although some haemorrhagic stroke patients benefitted). Great study which will lead to more research into emergency stoke care 🤩 👏
