Welcome to the end of #UKSF25! In the Closing Plenary, we heard about the power of the multidisciplinary team in supporting patients to actively engage in their recovery. But challenges remain, particularly around funding and resource. “Start small and plan big to improve care.”

UK Stroke Forum @ukstrokeforum.bsky.social · 27/11/2025
At #UKSF25, voices from the devolved nations highlighted gaps in stroke services & discussed how clinicians & researchers can drive change. “We do not need more policies — they’re not sticking. We need practical action to make stroke a priority.” Here’s what needs to change. 👇

Missed the Poster Presentations at #UKSF25? No problem! All posters are available on the Crowd Comms app. Here’s an example of stroke in a young adult after chickenpox, and a reminder of why more research is needed. The relationship is already well understood in children. 👇

“When do patients go from recovery, to discovery of themselves?” Stroke stories are often dismissed as anecdotal, but Prof Frederike van Wijck used quotes from survivors to frame the journey from pre- to post-stroke, and the factors that can support that transition. #UKSF25

Offering meat-free lunches five days a week could save the NHS £2.2 billion annually, yet resistance to change remains. A small study in New York found over 90% satisfaction with plant-based options, saving $0.59 per-person, and an estimated 36% reduction in emissions. #UKSF25

Up and at ’em! The third and final day of #UKSF25 is underway, with plenty still to come including: the Princess Margaret Memorial Lecture, debates on acute management, powerful stroke survivor stories, and discussions on improving access to PFO closure for secondary prevention.

“Everyone in this room is a heartbeat away from a stroke,” said survivor Jeremy Dearling. Should we screen the general population for AF, instead of waiting for a preventable crisis? New analysis suggests AF screening could be an effective predictor of stroke. #UKSF25
011
UK Stroke Forum @ukstrokeforum.bsky.social · 26/11/2025
What more can we do to advance stroke recovery? “Nothing about us, without us.” Lived experience should guide research, not only contribute data. To move forward, we have to harness emerging technologies, learn from global rehab research, and commit to excellence in every aspect of care. #UKSF25
