Thank you @munirawilson.bsky.social for hosting the #WorldStrokeDay debate in Westminster today, and for shining a light on the many challenges that so many stroke patients and survivors are expected to navigate alone, once discharged from hospital.

Delighted to hear @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social highlight AI in Dudley's stroke care today. AI is helping all England's stroke units diagnose and treat stroke quicker. But access to key stroke treatments like thrombectomy is still a postcode lottery. Good progress but we need to go further

Yet more evidence of the health inequalities connected to stroke. Air pollution significantly increases the risk of stroke. @thestrokeassoc.bsky.social calls on the government to meet World Health Organisation standards to reduce pollution and protect stroke survivors. the@healthyairuk.bsky.social

Great to hear @drkevinfong.bsk.social on @BBCToday on the incredible difference AI tools are making to stroke diagnostics. More investment in stroke innovations like this could massively improve the lives of the UK's 1.4m stroke survivors. @thestrokeassoc.bsky.social

This @hsj.co.uk piece from @chrisbnaylor.bsky.social totally nails it- lots of good stuff on CVD prevention in the 10 Year Health Plan but will only have impact if accompanied by some radical shifts in incentives including fiscal levers. www.hsj.co.uk/policy-and-r...

We talk constantly about "crossroads moments" for the NHS but tomorrow's Plan is a definite make or break point - with growing public dissatisfaction & Reform backing "radical surgery". No pressure @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social! www.ft.com/content/4a00...
The future of the NHS
Britons are growing less fond of their troubled healthcare system. Will Labour’s 10-year plan change their minds?
