It was a fabulously inspiring session…all planned and delivered by people with lived experience of stroke 😀

What are our biggest hopes for life after stroke advocacy? Wonderful finish to this session with a word cloud from the room #elasf2025

By survivors by all. The first of its kind at #ELASF2025. Day 2 opens with a plenary organised & delivered by people with lived experience. We’ve heard such moving, powerful & divergent stories this morning about what living well & a ‘best life’ after stroke looks like 🙌🏻❤️

“Life after stroke should not mean life with no support” delegates receive the warmest welcome & most important of messages at the start of the #ELASF2025 meeting in Prague #lifeafterstroke

Excited to share our findings from the LISTEN trial which sought to evaluate a co-designed, personalised self-management support intervention for people with Long Covid.

Findings from the nested process evaluation also coming soon...

Another excellent Imperial Stroke Public involvement group today. We discussed research topics the group felt were important. Also interesting discussions around the Stroke Association PREM question - Did you receive support coming to terms with the effects of your stroke?

Thank you Alison, that’s so kind of you 🥰

Prof Amanda Farrin on the future of trial design & need for platform designs; faster, cheaper, sooner evidence available for practice. Challenging design but very much needed across acute and life after stroke #uksf24 @amandafarrin.bsky.social

Excited to be talking in this TSA session on a topic very close to my heart: supporting people with aphasia help others with aphasia. Based on SUPERB trial. See also our course on setting up a peer befriending scheme city.ac.uk/prospective-st… Online and self-directed. #UKSF2024 #UKSF24

Prof Tash Lannin delivers an exceptional talk on the development of the #promote trial, supporting collaboration between clinicians & researchers in embedding evidence & changes into practice @natashalannin.bsky.social #uksf24

Excellent work in setting a precedent! 👏

We need more researchers collaborating with community partners to investigate health inequalities in the UK.

#UKSF24 Opening Plenary - Prof Martin James, brilliantly highlighting the glacial process of knowledge translation and mobilisation…..with a call to arms to drive changes in practice. Key message relevant across the stroke pathway.

Prof Lisa Kidd kicked off the Opening Plenary at #UKSF24
All about making stroke care a priority for gvt, policymakers, clinicians & researchers. Prof Martin James, Prof Chris Price, Prof Terry Quinn, & panel sharing reflections on stroke care, investment, with good rehabilitation & support.

#UKSF24 Prof Terry Quinn - excellent presentation challenging the stroke community to “zoom out”… rather than focussing in, specialising too far and working in silos. Priorities - recognising multimorbidity, frailty awareness, social determinants, rehab and life after stroke.
