Thank you to Baroness Wheeler, Co-Chair of the APPG on Stroke, for championing support for working-age stroke survivors in the #HouseofLords today. 1 in 4 strokes happen to working-age people, and 1 in 3 in this group will have to give up their job.

The brain's the only organ to have named itself. And the only organ to have created an emoji of itself!🧠 1 in 4 don't know that a stroke happens in the brain. This stops stroke survivors from getting the support they need. Share a🧠below to raise awareness. #WorldEmojiDay

People across the UK who have had a stroke or TIA are not calling 999 due to the #Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Strokes and mini-strokes are medical emergencies. The quicker you receive stroke treatment, the better.

We thank Baroness Wheeler for raising an important point in the #HouseOfLords today. Stroke nurses are vital for the care and treatment of stroke survivors and patients. But there is a shortage, and that shortage needs to be addressed.

1 in 4 stroke survivors, like Elizabeth, find it difficult to wrap presents at Christmas. Give it a go yourself and find out how hard it can be. Make sure you film & share it with us & don’t forget #OneHandedGiftWrap . Nominate someone you know to take on the challenge.

Your brain is amazing! 🧠♻️ A stroke presents a blockage in the brain that can affect your ability to walk, talk, read or write. But through a process called neuroplasticity, your brain can rewire itself, bypass the blockage, and recovery can begin! More:
