It’s #WorldStrokeDay
Recognising the signs of Stroke can save a life.
Remember to act F.A.S.T 👇🏻
If you see someone with any of the signs or symptoms of a stroke, remember to act F.A.S.T.
🟡 Face – has it fallen on one side?
🟡 Arms – can they raise both arms and keep them there?
🟡 Speech – is it slurred?
🟡 Time – to call 999

ALT A series of images showing the symptoms of stroke. Face: Has their face fallen on one side? Can they smile? Arms: Can they raise both arms and keep them there? Speech: Is their speech slurred? Time: To call 999 if you see any single one of these signs. When stroke strikes, act F.A.S.T. The NHS logo is in the top right hand corner.

#Rehabilitation should be integral to care plans in all settings, including long term care. Timely rehabilitation improves older people’s lives, reduces readmission to hospital and avoids premature long-term care.
