Inspiring to hear from stroke survivor Damian about the lifestyle behaviours that led to his stroke at today’s Cross-Party Group on Stroke - and the changes he’s made since. @drahmadstrokeuk.bsky.social also presented on the benefits of preventing strokes; to patients and reducing NHS costs.

1 in 3 stroke survivors will feel like a burden to their loved ones this Christmas but it’s #StillChristmas. Watch and share this film to help more survivors and their families find support. Give the gift of stroke support this Christmas.

Investing in stroke prevention, treatment, and rehab NOW could save the NHS tens of billions every year by 2035. More importantly, it will save lives. Join @munirawilson.bsky.social live on Parliament TV later today as they discuss the need to #MakeStrokeAPriority this #WorldStrokeDay. 👇

I'll be running the London Marathon for @thestrokeassoc.bsky.social in 2026! This year, around 7,000 people in Wales will wake up to the devastation of stroke. I'm aiming to raise more than £2,500 in sponsorship, any amount would be much appreciated to get me on my way. Diolch

Poor health is a huge economic risk for Wales. We are facing a future of "fewer hands; greater demands," with workforce sickness potentially rising by 27.5%. Our Director, Dr Helen Howson, explains why we must act now in her new piece for Business News Wales.

No one plans a stroke. It comes with enormous physical, emotional, and financial costs. Already, stroke survivors* struggle to access benefits like #PIP - and these cuts will leave more & more families affected by stroke & disability, with less & less. We must do better. *Cardiovascular disease 👇
