Thank you @CarrollJennifer for signing the Stroke Action Plan for Europe. Implementation will lead to fewer strokes, reduced death and disability and many more survivors able to live their best lives after stroke @roinnslainte @Irishheart_ie @StrokeEurope
The new strategy will be developed in consultation with patients, academia, advocacy, clinicians and policy makers. It will also support Ireland in aligning with the SAPE.

🚨 In the last 10 years there’s been a 23% increase in people here registered with their GP as having had a stroke or TIA (mini stroke).
That’s why we’re launching our new campaign today. Knowing the signs of stroke can save a life.

A stroke is a life-threatening medical condition.
The second you suspect a stroke is the second you dial 999 or 112.
Think F.A.S.T. Face. Arms. Speech. Time.

The National Ambulance Service has said there are thousands of defibrillators across the country not currently registered on its database, which could potentially delay a person accessing one of the life-saving devices in a medical emergency rte.ie/news/regional/2025/08…
Great to see publication of the Cardiac Services Review. Hopefully full steam ahead now to implementation and development of a National Cardiovascular Policy across the full spectrum of prevention, acute care and community services. @Irishheart_ie @roinnslainte @CarrollJennifer

If any other country did this, the "West" would lose its mind and go to war. Now? Not even a condemnation...
A Palestinian orthopedic nurse was shot in the knee by Israeli soldiers for refusing to stop operating on a wounded patient. He is later taken prisoner by the Israelis for 45 days. When the Israelis confirmed he isn't Hamas, they took out his eye and dropped him on the other side of the border, forcing him to crawl for 3km...
The @Irishheart_ie is enormously grateful to Minister @DonnellyStephen and @ColmBurkeTD for increasing the legal age of sale of tobacco to 21. It's another nail in the coffin of Big Tobacco and will have a huge long-term impact on Ireland's toll of 12 deaths a day from smoking.
