Inspiring 2 days at @welshstrokeconf.bsky.social - I think this was the best one yet! Well done to organisers, speakers and presenters, especially stroke survivors who bravely told their story. Looking forward to building on this momentum and working together to continue to make stroke a priority 💜

Thank you so much to @welshstrokeconf.bsky.social for the honour of asking me to deliver The Bhowmick Lecture yesterday. Great to be able to highlight #lifeafterstroke and catch up with so many colleagues.

Outstanding first day of the Welsh Stroke Conference today. A brilliant opening with a personal account of the devastating effect of losing speech after stroke. Followed by a fantastic Bhomick lecture with @avrildrummond1.bsky.social and an afternoon of fascinating psychology talks, #WSC2025
