I also recommend checking out #UKSF24 for highlights from the UK Stroke Forum this week in Liverpool.
More excellent work being shared here! #aphasia #CoDesign #Stroke

Nearly home after my first #uksf24 .What an experience !! So much to think about and plan now. Fantastic organisation and so much great work going on in Stroke services. Great messages,the NHS is not broken, & we all have the power to make a difference. Particularly good voices of lived experience

Nice to attend #UKSF24 at Liverpool. I'm sure it won't be long before attending another one in the future. Good mix of research, implementation challenges and MDT working for all matters relating to stroke.

💪Our new MoveWellprogram for Upper Limb helps stroke survivors improve quality of movement of their affected arm and reduce compensatory movements.
It includes virtual Assessments + Exergames for 5 movement types & tracks 6 compensatory movements!

Great opportunity to meet other members of the Next Generation Triallists in Stroke group.

Innovative trials in stroke showcased by @amandafarrin.bsky.social today at #UKSF24

Excited to be talking in the closing plenary session on the new ESO Aphasia Rehabilitation Guideline… And hearing all the other great presentations! #UKSF24

Why? We aren’t sure but could be partially intubation for the MT, plus MT used more for larger clots and larger strokes often I. Critical areas near swallowing centres and vessels supplying the internal capsule.

#dysphagia #UKSF24

Startling statistics from Dr Cornelius Werner about rates of dysphagia after mechanical thrombectomy - 81%, 1/3 silent aspiration, with poor results from standardised swallowing assessment. His recommendation- don’t bother, use FEES/VFS as standard after MT. #UKSF24

Looking for people to join our stakeholder group to develop a core outcomes set for trials of interventions designed to treat/prevent psychological problems post-stroke! You may have spotted this slide in @amandafarrin.bsky.social's talk at #uksf24 this morning...

Literally joined the platform this week. Been an amazing #uksf24 and so proud to represent @ukstrokenursing.bsky.social on our stand and talking about opportunities in research.

When you’re not at #UKSF24, but you get messages to say your work is mentioned by your co-author, Gert Kwakkel, in the Princess Margaret Memorial lecture yesterday. Thank you for the photo @physiolouisej.bsky.social

Prof Amanda Farrin on the future of trial design & need for platform designs; faster, cheaper, sooner evidence available for practice. Challenging design but very much needed across acute and life after stroke #uksf24 @amandafarrin.bsky.social

Prof Tash Lannin delivers an exceptional talk on the development of the #promote trial, supporting collaboration between clinicians & researchers in embedding evidence & changes into practice @natashalannin.bsky.social #uksf24

Excited to be talking in this TSA session on a topic very close to my heart: supporting people with aphasia help others with aphasia. Based on SUPERB trial. See also our course on setting up a peer befriending scheme city.ac.uk/prospective-st… Online and self-directed. #UKSF2024 #UKSF24

Hearing about L1 psychological support at #UKSF24.

Hearing lived experience - “good psychological support lifts me up a bit, helps me to thrive. Bad psychological support can knock me down miles.”

Words have a profound impact +everyone should have L1 Psych Support Training.

Great project from last years GIRFT leadership academy. Level One Psychological care- training is essential for all “you may see me for an hour but the tea lady sees me 6 times a day”. Thank you Brian for your insights. #UKSF24

Looking forward to the final day of #uksf24 and what a great session to start the day, Women's Health in Stroke

Super to be at #UKSF24 representing TULAY with 2 project posters:
1️⃣ A scoping review of stroke services within the Philippines

2️⃣ Building Bridges & Solutions in Self-Management Support after Stroke: a global health co-design project for stroke survivors, families & healthcare in the Philippines

Some truly inspirational talks at the UK Stroke Forum Day 2! Key learning so far around:
➡️High prevalence of sleep difficulties and their association with worse outcomes
➡️Potential benefits of solution focused brief therapy for ppl with aphasia
➡️Emphasis on lived experience throughout
#uksf24

Great to see so many at our session on "Meeting the challenge of delivering neuropsychological support in stroke services" at #UKSF24 and to speak with such fantastic colleagues Dr Steve Green @stevegreen1.bsky.social, Dr Rachel Metcalfe-Hume, Dr Mark Griffiths and Dr Phil Yates

First time at #uksf24, some great lectures so far 🧠

We're excited to be part of the UK's largest conference for stroke care professionals and have several insightful presentations lined up:

Currently watching When Away the Words Went - the Stroke Association’s film on #aphasia - at #UKSF24

We have been supporting our client the British & Irish Association of Stroke Physicians this week on their stand at the The UK Stroke Forum #UKSF24 which is taking place at the ACCLiverpool @thestrokeassoc.bsky.social

Kristin and Sophie are ready to help with any membership queries:

😴 Up to 50% of people meet the diagnostic criteria for a sleep disorder post stroke.

📈 Prevalence of insomnia post stroke is 3-4x that of general population +has significant impact on recovery +QOL.

Brief scale <16 is indicative of insomnia- neurologyopen.bmj.com/content/6/2/e0…
