National Stroke Week! (Zoom 7.30pm) Robyn Pender

The Stroke Foundation is a national charity that partners with the community to prevent, treat and beat stroke. We stand alongside stroke survivors and their families, healthcare professionals and researchers. We build community awareness and foster new thinking and innovative treatments. We support survivors on their journey to live the best possible life after stroke. 

One way we build community awareness is through our StrokeSafe program. Your presenter will cover a range of issues that will help your organisation or group better understand stroke and how it can be prevented. This includes:

·       What stroke is – What happens when someone is having a stroke and the different types of stroke.

·       How to recognise the signs of stroke – Learn the vital FAST signs which will help you recognise when someone is having a stroke.

·       What to do if someone is having a stroke – If you or someone else experiences the signs of stroke, no matter how long they last, call 000 immediately.

·       How to prevent stroke – Steps that can be taken to better understand and reduce the risk of having a stroke.
