New actFAST campaign #savingbrains 🧠. Call 999 if you suspect you or someone you are with is having a stroke @NHSEngland @TheStrokeAssoc
The first sign of a stroke might not seem like much. Like - not being able to raise your arm. Or struggling to smile. Or slurring when you speak. Any sign of a stroke is always an emergency. Face or arm or speech, at the first sign, it's time to call 999. https://t.co/2lVAqZBeYz
