The @strokeSAS answering your questions #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
The MTU FAST Awareness team on their recent visit to East ACC - here with some of the ACC staff. Learning to act FAST and save lives. Great work!
3 weeks into the FAST Awareness Roadshow and this week the MTU FAST Awareness teams paid a visit to the SAS ACC's. Here is the team during their visit to West ACC.
MTU FAST Awareness teams are out across all 3 regions 7 days per week until the end of August. Here they are today at Prestonpans station. Thanks to all staff who are engaging with the teams during their visits. Acting FAST can save lives!
The #Shetland Stroke Support Group had a great time at the #CunningsburghShow at their stall with @NHS_Shetland. They were raising awareness of stroke & the importance of acting FAST if you think someone is having a #stroke. Thank you for sharing this important message!🙌
The MTU FAST Awareness Team in the East are at Edinburgh City Station today - enjoying the sunshine and a warm welcome - raising stroke and FAST awareness.
MTU FAST Awareness Teams are visiting stations across the North, East and West again today. The West team have shared their set up at Douglas station today. All teams working hard to raise stroke and FAST awareness.
