Your postcode should NOT determine how well you recover after a stroke, but sadly it does. Every stroke survivor has a #RightToRehab, & it was a privilege to celebrate #RehabLegends today at Westminster with @TheCSP. Join us & end the postcode lottery: bit.ly/3W55rkY

If you're experiencing brief limb control loss, see a GP. You might have a PFO, a gap in the heart that didn't close after birth. This can be a risk for stroke, if a blood clot forms in the heart and travels up to the brain. Thank you, Phineas, for sharing your experience.💜

We urge the next UK Government to #InvestInSLT. The current shortage of Speech and Language Therapists is not working for two-thirds of stroke survivors living with communication problems. More investment is needed for stroke survivors to make their best possible recovery.

Swallowing is a complex task that requires the brain to coordinate lots of muscles. It is for this reason half of stroke survivors will experience swallowing problems at some point during their recovery. Find out more about diagnosis and treatments here: bit.ly/3xBJjQJ

Mechanical thrombectomy can dramatically improve outcomes and reduce disability. It was great to hear about the progress being made in Nottingham to ensure people have timely access to this vital treatment, regardless of where their stroke occurs. David Hargroves 💙 Maeva May

Thank you BBC The One Show for sharing Freddie's story. Freddie had his stroke at just 4 years old, which greatly impacted him and his parents. Last month, he helped us launch our Garden for Recovery The RHS Chelsea Flower Show and with support has made progress in his recovery.
