Thank you to the #uksf for giving me the opportunity to present the results of our study looking at outcomes after stroke for different stroke locations. Watch this space for the full paper!
Who is off to Aberdeen next week for #UKSF? @ukstrokeforum.bsky.social
Really looking forward to my first one 💜
“Hey Mate, any chance of building some UKSF and their helicopter they use to deploy for an MTFA? Knowing they’re on their way is always an incredible feeling! Thanks in advance.”
Very busy at the moment, so here’s one for now, with more to come soon! ✅

I like to see PWA being given the stage at forums (lots of experts by experience at the #UKSF this year, but the audience is selective obviously).
What an amazing but well deserved shout out for the outgoing #uksf president "the humble yet freaking awesome" @lisakidd22.bsky.social
Heartfelt thanks for everything you do to support stroke care and research and those of us working in it.
Wow 🤩 best aphasia poster award! Thank you #TavistockTrustForAphasia and #UKSF! 🎉🎉🎉 So proud #QueenSquareSpeechies #NHNN #PWA #ConversationPartnerVolunteers
Dr Shakeel Ahmed at #uksf explaining the process being made in Wales to improve access to mechanical thrombectomy
What a brilliant couple days catching up with others & meeting some amazing people working in #stroke Wonderful today to hear more about the current research and practice with people w fluent aphasia & supporting people to live well with #aphasia Looking forward to next year in Aberdeen! #UKSF #BAS
Dr Glen Neilsen at #uksf : the benefits and rewards of working with people with functional neurological disorders . The importance of helping people to understand their symptoms and triggers. Using redirection of attention and management of secondary symptoms including fatigue.
And great to see Niki Turner National AHP Lead, speaking about exciting times for stroke services in Wakes with tech advancements, pre hospital streaming and transformation #uksf
Great Plenary panel including Professor Adelwale Adebajo MBE, " the importance of involving people with lived experiences in research and the importance of getting research into practice more quickly. #uksf
Day 2 of #uksf here we go with a mention of @bsky.app already!!
A stack of mugs from chest, heart and stroke Scotland with the phrase No Life Half Lived on each one.
And a really cool mug from Chest, Heart and Stroke Scotland. #UKSF
That’s my little round up from today. More tomorrow at #UKSF
#DecisionMaking at #UKSF: ask the person how we can mitigate risks, and if presenting options then don’t load them - make them equal and neutral, as “we could do <option 1> or we could do <option 2>” - things that could be not things that will be - so we’re clear the decision is yet to be made.
P People - who to involve for different decisions (it’s not always going to be the same people) and consider #SLT for communication support
S Support required - it’s our obligation to offer needed support, not an optional extra.
#UKSF
@markjayes.bsky.social spoke about his TIPS for supporting people with communication difficulties at #UKSF:
T Timing the assessment- not ages before needed, best time for the person and take time to prep them
I information - what’s necessary/unnecessary and what format to maximise understanding
A reminder to embed #DecisionMaking into every day for people with #aphasia and #cognition or communication difficulties - once we’re familiar with how decision making works for that person it will be so much easier when the decision is big b/c we’ve embedded small ones into every day #UKSF
Another great expert by experience with #aphasia, Lucy Allard, spoke about being empowered and disempowered during her stroke journey by healthcare professionals who took time and space to talk to her in a meaningful way vs those who fired questions but didn’t check her comprehension #UKSF
Right, #UKSF day 1.
Great talk on #coproduction and #codesign - including experts by experience @choclit.bsky.social and her husband Jenks. I made notes some of which are below:
@kj45.bsky.social and I were honoured to speak at the co-design session at the #ukstrokeforum #uksf #uksf24 today. We are so grateful to all healthcare professionals who support stroke survivors and their recovery
