Joining Prof Paul Bhogal, Interventional Neuroradiology Consultant at the Royal London Hospital, for a look at how technology is transforming thrombectomy and patient outcomes

Talk by Dr David Hargroves: Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is one of the most effective treatments in modern medicine, yet access across the UK remains uneven. Expanding MT services, workforce and pathways must be a national priority. Every minute matters in stroke care.

Dr Mazen, Consultant Anaesthetist, sharing key insights on local anaesthesia vs general anaesthesia in thrombectomy — balancing speed, patient stability, airway protection, and outcomes in hyperacute stroke care. A thoughtful discussion on tailoring the approach to the patient

Dr Charlie Hall, Interventional Neuroradiologist, on all things stenting in thrombectomy & stroke — when to deploy, device choice, managing intracranial atherosclerosis, and real-world decision making in the angio suite. Great insights into pushing the boundaries of MT

Get With The Guidelines” session with Dr Anna Nagy & Dr Ari Baheerathan, Stroke Neurologists at Imperial NHS — aligning stroke care with evidence-based guidelines to improve outcomes and streamline pathways.

Use of AI in prehospital pathways by Dr Nagaratnam — advancing our practice to provide faster, smarter, and more coordinated care before patients even reach the hospital. Harnessing data and technology to support clinicians and improve outcomes where every minute matters.
