The worldwide impact of stroke is devastating, especially for those with significant travel times to hospital. A powerful slide to end a wonderful presentation on pre-hospital prediction tool for stroke type using machine learning techniques 👏🏻 #IGS2024

Declan Whitney suffered a stroke in September 2021, whilst he was out walking the dog. He is thankful that he is now doing well, back to walking the dog, playing tennis, holidaying abroad and writing poetry. Today, Declan shares his poem, titled 'Now' which reflects his experience of the fears, uncertainty and worries that stroke patients go through. #StrokeAudit

Or put more correctly you only have a 1 in 3 chance of getting into a stroke unit in Ireland if you have a stroke ...really poor! @HSELive want clinicians to lead their clinical programmes but are not implementing their recommendations.
