#UKSF25 ✅ Twenty years of turning evidence into action, learning from lived experience, challenging inequality, building momentum for policy change, and celebrating the successes of the stroke community. See you in Liverpool for #UKSF26. Now… my carriage awaits. 🚁

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.”

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

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

Kidney failure and stroke at #UKSF25. “A lot of people on dialysis have strokes,” said Prof Patrick Mark. “But patients on dialysis are always less likely to be admitted to a stroke unit, even though survival would be better.” Patients on dialysis also have strokes younger.

“Don’t be a dick.” One of the many takeaways from a stroke survivor session at #UKSF25, about how we can create SAFE spaces for patients. Soon followed by the poignant reminder that, “Anyone in this room could be the next survivor.” Don’t take it for granted that you’re not.

In the Green Zone at #UKSF25, CEO of Trellis, Fiona Thackeray spoke about the power of social prescribing. By growing plants, we can reduce: ▪️Inflammation ▪️Dementia risk ▪️Pain medication “But you have to want to do it, and enjoy it,” and therein lie the benefits. 🌱

Stroke survivor Peter shared his story, describing the difficulty of not knowing what caused his stroke. “If you are a stroke survivor, you live in fear that it might happen again”. Receiving an AF diagnosis, starting treatment and management brought him real relief. #UKSF25

Another day, another Poster Presentation Session at #UKSF25. Expect a diverse selection of studies across stroke prevention, acute management, and long-term recovery! Come with curious minds and questions to discuss the findings and implications with authors.

Dr Joseph Kwan spoke nutrition at #UKSF25 Ultra processed foods increase the risk of stroke and cardiovascular disease (CVD), while a Mediterranean diet can lower CVD risk by reducing lipid profiles (including oxidised lipids), and total cholesterol. Have a look for yourself.👇

Existing guidelines on diet are “so beige to the point of being useless,” says Dr Sundhya Raman. “Prioritise plants on your plate. “If the majority of foods you eat are sourced from plants, it’s a cardio-protective diet,” with the potential to reduce stroke risk by 19%. #UKSF25

The talks continue in the #UKSF25 Exhibition Hall with Dr Adaeze Ifezulike discussing lifestyle medicine, and the importance of preventative care and holistic health practices in stroke. 👏

Stroke survivors want to return to work, but the barriers they face can make this a major challenge. Clinical guidelines recommend that healthcare professionals offer vocational rehabilitation, but how can we best fulfil this role? A topic currently being discussed at #UKSF25.

Welcome to Day 2 of #UKSF25! We’re set for another jam-packed day, with sessions covering individualised stroke prevention, a first look at the new SSNAP audit data, dysarthria management, and the impact of renal function on stroke. And that’s just a taste of what’s to come!

Overheard at #UKSF25. “It’s cold in Aberdeen.”
