Been reflecting & looking back a lot this week on my years in front line duties on the road, it’s amazing all them incidents we put to the back of our minds.....I do miss many many aspects of the team camaraderie though. This reflects my very thankful journey with @NWAmbulance 👍🏻

@Deborah71247971 @girft @RCPhysicians @TheKingsFund @NHSEngland @TheStrokeAssoc @BIASPstroke Well done all and thank you for letting me be a small part of it as a mentor on the programme 👏🏻👏🏻🧠🚑

So pleased that this fabulous @GIRFT stroke leadership academy run with partnership with @RCPhysicians @TheKingsFund has been recognised. Supporting our NHS staff to be the best version of themselves and #liftasyouclimb @NHSEngland @TheStrokeAssoc @BIASPstroke

Was great to be invited to present in this session 🚑🧠😍

A bit surreal to be sat within the panel and presenting on this main stage to all these passionate stroke clinicians today at the 2024 UK Stroke Forum Conference in Liverpool. #uksf24 #stroke #prehospital

@mrashjc presenting new analysis of pre-hospital data from SSNAP at #uksf24 Check out Chris’s poster in Tour 9 tomorrow

A first for a NI stroke conference but hopefully not the last . Chris Ashton presenting the importance of pre hospital assessment by paramedics and use of SSNAP data

Chris Ashton @mrashjc works for Greater Manchester Stroke Network as their Coordinator. He is discussing pre hospital care pathways for stroke patients @nimastStroke

Thank you to the @strokeassocni for asking me to present today and represent the @GMNISDN and @SSNAPaudit organisations discussing pre hospital care pathways for stroke patients #stroke #prehospital #ems

A pleasure yesterday to present the analysis of @SSNAPaudit pre hospital stroke care data across the national population @ESOstroke. A first study of its kind in the UK. Understanding all elements of the pre hospital stroke pathway further is key to improving our stroke care 🧠🚑

Results from pre-hospital BP management in INTERACT-4 study. While overall neutral results, improvements in patients with ICH were seen. More reason to have pre-hospital brain imaging to differentiate early treatments. Paper now out. #ESOC2024

Last 90 min slot of the day is focussing on 🚑 pre hospital care but this is far from the least important for stroke 🧠 care @ESOstroke #loadsofroomtoimprove

@wmasjoshmiller @kieran_robinson @mcclg @Speedy_Trial @OFFICIALWMAS @NWAmbulance @swasFT @SCAS999 @wmasjasonwiles @ResearchStroke @wmasLGBT @RiaOsborne1 @CRN_WMid @wmastonysutton @wmasNathanH @researchaw @swasftResearch @NWAmb_Research And interestingly our regional stroke pathway promotes non cannulation. Clear differences within Uk practice 😬

@kieran_robinson @mcclg @Speedy_Trial @OFFICIALWMAS @NWAmbulance @swasFT @SCAS999 @wmasjasonwiles @ResearchStroke @wmasLGBT @RiaOsborne1 @CRN_WMid @wmastonysutton @wmasNathanH @researchaw @swasftResearch @NWAmb_Research I've certainly been asked to cannulate patient ~5 minutes from hospital "because it speeds things up when we get here" - a system targeting elements of the journey rather than the entire onset > treatment pathway. You'll be very welcome to join us!

Time is brain, but UK 🚑 crews spend longer on scene before taking stroke patients to hospital than in other countries. Why? And what can we do to improve this? @mcclg is @Speedy_Trial special guest for: @OFFICIALWMAS @NWAmbulance @swasFT (NEW) @SCAS999 Tinyurl.com/speedyapril24

The NHS in England currently employs around 1.5 million people, making it the largest employer in England. The largest staff group is nurses and health visitors, but how many people are employed in other groups? Find out in our workforce nutshell. kingsfund.org.uk/insight-and-an…

Very interesting data (Tactics trial) shows patients are 44% more likely to receive stroke reperfusion therapy when using virtual reality headset training at PSCs. Suggestive of investment in virtual training and learning through no harm mistakes 🤔 & visual scoring @ESOstroke

Basel🇨🇭for this years conference. Excited to be attending #ESOC24, connecting with passionate Stroke experts, and learn about the latest insights from clinical trials. Sharing some exciting early national pre-hospital data for @SSNAPaudit @ESOstroke

It was great to meet the Scholarship players at @WarringtonRLFC when our Health and Wellbeing Programme Manager Paul Wood delivered an engaging workshop on stress, awareness, trust & how valuable it can be to have close connections with people who can help you achieve your goals.

@SkySportsRL fuming. You can’t advertise a NRL game then just don’t show it. You wouldn’t do that for football! We pay for a service and you change it at the last minute #fuming

5 hours of education delivered this morning to all our @WarringtonRLFC scholars, academy and reserves players across the pathway. #personalities #standards #values #holisticcoaching 👨🏻‍🎓🏉

In our Princess Margaret Memorial Lecture, Professor @OrthopticBrain spoke about vision and stroke, and her ambitions and efforts to embed orthoptic care in stroke services. “Stroke survivors not referred to the right team cannot access the right interventions.” #UKSF23

@JessicaSpara @NatashaMDay @RCSEd Agree I enjoyed the surgeons museum as a para

@NatashaMDay So might be a slightly niche (but you are a para so might not be) but I LOVED the Surgeons Museum at the @RCSEd. It’s all pathology samples of weird and wonderful body parts. Some seriously gross but fascinating stuff.
