Phil's right. Fast 🚑 and effective treatment 🩺 for stroke round the clock ⌚️ is vital to the best recovery from stroke. We need to see 24/7 thrombectomy across the UK so stroke patients get the best chance of survival and recovery. This can't wait another 75 years.

Thank you to Baroness Wheeler, Co-Chair of the APPG on Stroke, for championing support for working-age stroke survivors in the #HouseofLords today. 1 in 4 strokes happen to working-age people, and 1 in 3 in this group will have to give up their job.

'Rehabilitation is often secondary prevention.' A point well made by @WesStreeting. 👆 Improved access to rehabilitation would support more stroke survivors to recover well, reduce their risk of another stroke, prevent hospital readmission, and reduce future demand on the NHS.

Amazing to see stroke survivor James Mattless on the BBC The One Show surprising the doctor who saved his life by performing an emergency thrombectomy at Cambridge University Hospitals NHS. Thrombectomy is a game-changing treatment that not only saves lives but improves quality of life, too. #TheOneShow

We thank Baroness Wheeler for raising an important point in the #HouseOfLords today. Stroke nurses are vital for the care and treatment of stroke survivors and patients. But there is a shortage, and that shortage needs to be addressed.
