Final talk of day 3 of #UKSF25 and what a way to end- three very powerful and thought provoking stories from young stroke survivors and their lived experience 👏👏👏

Welcome to Day 2 of #UKSF25!
We’re set for another jam-packed day, with sessions covering individualised stroke prevention, a first look at the new @SSNAPaudit, dysarthria management, and the impact of renal function on stroke.
And that’s just a taste of what’s to come!

On #WorldStrokeDay we highlight that ~1 in 6 young strokes (<50) are caused by #AntiphospholipidSyndrome: an #AutoimmuneCondition that increases the risk of #Thrombosis. Early diagnosis & anticoagulation can prevent recurrence: cutt.ly/stroke #StrokeAwareness #APS

#WorldStrokeDay 🌍 🧠
Stroke can affect anyone, at anytime. My clinical work and research reminds me that it touches all age groups and the impact is far-reaching.
Let’s continue to support recovery, give people affected hope & raise awareness 💛 @TheStrokeAssoc @diffstrokes

Ripping billions from the welfare budget will be devastating for disabled people.
Hundreds of thousands will be plunged into poverty.
It will have a massive effect on disabled people’s health, ability to live independently, or work.
The government must listen and reconsider.

Today, we handed in over 100,000 petition signatures to 10 Downing Street 📋
It’s a clear message to the government: the cost of cuts is catastrophic ✂️
ALT 6 people in front of 10 Downing Street. 3 are wearing Scope t-shirts. The other 3 are in front. 2 of them, one a wheelchair user, are holding a purple box that reads, '101,025 say the cost of cuts is catastrophic' with the Scope logo on the lid.

Gemma will be sharing her journey towards recovery at our conference on 21st May. Join us!
“Stroke recovery is a rollercoaster. You must be kind to yourself & grieve the old you.”
At 40, Gemma was fit & active when she unexpectedly had a stroke. She went from horse-riding and boxing to re-learning basic tasks & managing fatigue.
