@KatieMacgregor Thank you Katie. We hope you enjoyed the presentation.

Great morning so far at the SSCA national meeting. Fascinating insight from the @strokeSAS team on the stroke pathway and how they process the 1.5 million emergency calls they receive from potential stroke patients annually #SSCA22

In her presentation at Amazing Brains 2022, @AudreyBowenProf from the @OfficialUoM spoke about her research, and about how surviving a stroke should only be the beginning, with significant aftercare and rehabilitation to follow. You can catch up here: bit.ly/3zWi45j

Only a couple of physical places left, but there is a virtual option too. Drop me an email if you fancy it! #ssca22 strokeaudit.scot.nhs.uk/docs/SSCA-Nati…

The FAST roadshow is now in it's final week. An online event will be available in the coming weeks for staff we have been unable to reach. Keep an eye out here and on @SAS
