Maps where you’d rather not be the red country- WHO data shows the UK has high premature mortality, especially in CVD. Hanne Christensen flags that where countries spend more money on stroke care, they have better outcomes - and that advocacy for stroke is key. #ESOC2025

Trying to divine the govt's overal delivery philsophy for health seems rather tough at the moment. Is it a) command and control, b) neighbourhood health, c) ICS-devo, d) 10yr plan, e) wider health mission, f) etc. Anyone actually know and how this coherntly ties together?

Great conversation and ideas from the UK stroke community today on the 10 year health plan #UKSF2024. You all have brilliant ideas so make sure you get your voice heard either on change.nhs.uk/en-GB/ AND/OR in any engagement events that happen in your area of work.
