Our meta-analysis of 279 stroke studies over 24 years, with 117K+ participants, found that 1 in 2 stroke patients experience adverse non-motor outcomes. Adjusted meta-regression shows 8/10 domains persist more than 10-years. Time for change in stroke care.

Thank you to the organizers and session planners of ##WSC2025 for the kind invitation.Three full days of inspiring learning, engaging discussions, and networking what an incredible experience! Many thanks to my mentors Prof. Werring, Dr. Simister & Dr. Banerjee for their guidance

7th stroke network #ISDN residential completed sponsored by @TheStrokeAssoc and co-hosted with @NHSEngland Stroke Programme. The power of clinical leadership coming together to learn, share and have some time to reflect is so important, as are our ISDN.

The new WHO Global Report on Neurology shows: 🧠 Stroke is the top neurological disorder contributing to health loss globally 💰 Brain disorders cost >US$1.7T Solution: #StrokeActionPlan for Europe + EU Cardiovascular Health Plan = real change for stroke in Europe Read

On Tuesday, stroke took centre stage at the European Parliament. 🇪🇺 Experts & advocates called for urgent coordinated EU action, using the #StrokeActionPlan as the roadmap. It is time to make stroke a pillar of the EU CVH Plan. Read more https://t.co/m7lK3BifLL #EUHealth

There is an urgent need for policy-driven, long-term, translational, and integrated life after stroke pathways, embedded within health systems to ensure equitable, person-centred recovery and sustained quality of life for survivors.

“The first ever EU Cardiovascular Health Plan will build on existing policies and actions, including a review of the forthcoming #StrokeActionPlan for Europe.” Marianne Takki, EU Commission (DG SANTE) #EUHealth #StrokeCare #PreventStroke

We are at the European Parliament 🇪🇺 Today’s high-level discussion, hosted by @StrokeEurope and @ESOstroke, explores how the new #StrokeActionPlan can drive better #StrokeCare across Europe — and its role within the EU CVH Plan. #EUHealth

Young stroke cases are rising at record rates, yet stroke care still centers on visible motor and language impairments. The stroke care pathway must urgently expand to address disabling non-motor challenges, backed by focused research to drive effective intervention.

The paper is accompanied by an editorial highlighting that young stroke patients need targeted and tailored interventions and support systems, guided by precise outcome assessment, to achieve optimal recovery. https://t.co/48ue3X3HV1

Our latest manuscript on young-onset stroke shows that fatigue, sleep disturbance, and reduced social participation are common “hidden” disabilities, even in patients with favourable recovery on the mRS. @UCLStrokeRes @HOzkan92 @DrGargiBanerjee @UCLIoN https://t.co/RTBsD35PlU

"Only if we understand, can we care. Only if we care, we will help. Only if we help, we shall be saved." "What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make." Jane Goodall was the best of us.

#Mondaytip Think FAST then #SLOW3 🏎️FAST works best for large MCA strokes, but misses many brainstem, thalamic, and atypical strokes 🐌SLOW³ is proposed as a complement ☝️Emphasis on structured clinical reasoning prevents missed or misdiagnosed strokes https://t.co/Dfnu49uS7Y

Recovery after stroke doesn’t stop in the hospital. We need to collectively address long-term care, mental health, social participation, activities of daily living, return to work, and more with a united voice. Submit your abstract and help lead the conversation. #LifeAfterStroke

Thought-provoking masterclass by Prof David Werring (UCL) on #CAA, generating a really engaging discussion from the audience #VasCog2025

New paper on Cerebral #amyloid related inflammation: https://t.co/aldeK6XWVW. High rates of ARIA-E markers, numerous cerebral microbleeds and medial temporal atrophy suggest roles for #Alzheimers and parallels with ARIA-E, plus a possible risk factor of long-term comorbidities.

Congratulations to all UCLH staff who were honoured for their outstanding contributions at the #CelebratingExcellenceAwards2025 earlier this week. Special thanks to our host @campbellclaret for your time and commitment and to @UCLHCharity for supporting the awards.
