It's a message you'll have heard before but it's so important to remember.
If you see someone with any of the signs or symptoms of a stroke, remember to Act F.A.S.T. 🚑

ALT An image showing the symptoms of stroke. The text reads "Face: Has their face fallen on one side? Can they smile? Arms: Can they raise both arms and keep them there? Speech: Is their speech slurred? Time: To call 999 if you see any single one of these signs" The text on the bottom of the image reads "When stroke strikes, Act F.A.S.T" The NHS logo is in the top right hand corner.

Dr Barton was instrumental in setting up the stroke unit over 25 yrs ago at @WHHNHS He has been an invaluable source of information & support to us and patients always speak of him with high regard .We wish you well in your well deserved retirement! @TheStrokeAssoc – at North West, England
End of an era @WHHNHS with Dr Graham Barton’s retirement, thanks for all you have done for people of Warrington - Stroke Units, Dementia Unit, countless medical trainees (including myself) inspired into careers in Stroke and Geriatrics after working with Dr Barton and much more…

If everyone who has been grateful for the NHS over the past 75 years followed and retweeted we’d reach a million by midnight
Please take just two seconds to show you care

Our research revealed the top 5 triggers for migraine in work are lighting, stress, screens, noise, & long hours.
Implementing reasonable adjustments such as softer lighting & flexible working hours businesses can support workers with migraine while protecting their bottom line.

Another interesting and enjoyable “walks about’ with our deputy chief nurse @alikennah and clinical leaders @WHHNHS. Pressure ulcers was our theme today and I went to Ward B14.Really professional and caring staff and I also met a lovely patient who have very nice feedback.
