Hi everyone!

We're in Manchester for the UK Stroke Assembly - North today and tomorrow (Monday 4 June and Tuesday 5 June 2018). We are demonstrating My Stroke Guide on our interactive touch screen, and posting some updates from the event here.  

I have attached a copy of the itinerary. Feel free to have a look through, and if you have any questions, comment below!

Hi, this looks good! I have aphasia, will I manage to come another year? Thank you.

Hi Paul,

Yes! In fact, many attendees have aphasia. We also hold workshops for people with aphasia at the UK Stroke Assembly.

There is plenty of help at the Assembly. We can support you in any way you need.

If you would like to join us next year, you can check the Stroke Association website for updates later in the year: https://www.stroke.org.uk/finding-support/uk-stroke-assembly

Thanks for replying, and please let me know if you have any other questions.

It's great to hear from stroke survivor Cathy Rice on why she loves being involved in research.

Lisa Hinton, researcher at the University of Oxford, has worked with Cathy in developing a research project into blood pressure monitoring after a stroke or TIA.
