A recent story out of the UK has brought the crisis in the NHS and social care sector into sharp focus, and it’s truly heartbreaking. It involves Tony Reedman, who sadly died just four days after suffering a stroke while on holiday in Cornwall, after waiting for several hours for an ambulance at his holiday cottage💔.
A two-day inquest into his death has just heard that on the day he died last June more than 20 ambulances had been queuing outside the Royal Cornwall Hospital at Treliske in Truro, unable to discharge their patients because of a lack of social care packages available so bed-blocking patients could leave.
ARNI Stroke Rehab UK says that this isn’t just about one tragic case; it’s a glaring spotlight on the critical pressures facing our health services every single day. For us, every second counts when a stroke happens – we know the mantra 'time is brain' better than anyone else! 🧠⚡ When systems are overstretched, underfunded and understaffed, it's we who pay the highest price 😢.

Fatigue is a common effect after stroke that can make life 'challenging'. To help manage it, and still be able to do your rehab exercises, start small and find the right balance of activity and rest that your brain can handle.

Still very much struggling with this after stroke in July 24. 😢
"We are in the early stages of a Brain Plasticity Revolution. That revolution begins with a clearer understanding that the brain’s machinery is being continually rewired and functionally revised , substantially under your control, throughout the course of your natural life. You have a remarkable built-in ability to strengthen and grow the person that you are, at any age.

Neuroplasticity: How Your Life Shapes Your Brain - The Best Brain Possible
thebestbrainpossible.com
Neuroplasticity refers to alterations in your brain made in response to incoming stimuli. Your life literally changes the form and function of your brain.

Goals need to be a mix of highly achievable and reasonable, with a few unlikely ones thrown in which you are still going to strive for and do your best at achieving. The reason for that is that in striving for the seemingly unachievable, by default, stroke survivors will almost always achieve the achievable.

Did you have a lacunar stroke? If so, Royal United Hospitals Bath needs your help for a vital new study! 💡 They are currently recruiting volunteers to take part in research focused on preventing secondary strokes and preserving brain health. 🧠
This important clinical trial (The LACunar Intervention Trial-3 (LACI-3)), is investigating whether two existing medications, isosorbide mononitrate and cilo*stazol, could prevent recurrent strokes and the subsequent negative impact on cognitive function (like memory and thinking skills). 🩺 The goal is to find better ways to protect our brains after an initial event.
Stroke prevention is so crucial, and studies like this are how we make progress in medicine. By participating, you would be contributing to research that could potentially change future treatment protocols and improve the lives of countless individuals. 🤝
📞 Interested in taking part?
They’re looking for volunteers aged 30+ who’ve had a lacunar stroke. Participation lasts around 18 months, with most follow-ups done by phone. 📍 To find out more, contact our stroke research team:
📞 01225 824120 📧 ruh-tr.strokeresearch@nhs.net
This study is led by the University of Edinburgh and University of Nottingham, and funded by the NIHR.
🙏 ARNI Stroke Rehab UK says: your contribution could truly help shape the future of stroke care.

Btw, there will be at least 60 more hospitals in the UK where this trial will be carried out and the recruitment aim is 1,300 patients
I had a Lacunar stroke nearly 9 years ago. Apparently I had 5 in total.
I've had X2 lacuna strokes and would defo be interested in the trial. Thanks for bringing this to our attention ARNI 🙏
I've no idea if it was lacunar....I know you he words basal ganglia appear on my discharge but nobody ever sat me down and said what it was
Today we share some sad news from the East of England. 😔 Headway Norfolk and Waveney, an incredible organisation that has been running for more than 30 years, is unfortunately due to close its doors on November 30th. 💔
30 years of dedicated support is an amazing legacy, but they've run out of money - and Headway Central does not have a policy to subside its local Headways - so this closure is even more painful.
This is a blow for many families because they operate seven vital day centres and outreach support groups across the region, providing essential lifelines in King’s Lynn, Norwich, Dereham, Long Stratton, and Great Yarmouth. These services are pretty essential for ABI and TBI survivors and their families affected by brain injuries, offering support, rehabilitation and a place to connect.
Our thoughts are with the staff, volunteers and all the service users during this incredibly difficult time. 😢 It’s a real loss for our survivor support network.

Here's a great exercise from The Successful Stroke Survivor book: Stick Steering.
You are going to mimic the action of turning a large steering wheel with both hands. The aim is to keep the bad hand on the stick whilst the wrist is put under increasing pressure as it moves past the vertical. Most people find that this is one of the most natural things they find themselves doing with these sticks. It is a really great exercise, for it threatens to pull the fingers away from the stick one by one. You have to exert a lot of control. The exercise is then taken further, as the stick is pulled across the body both w#strokerecoveryo#strokerehabilitationa#ARNIstrokerehabr#neuroplasticityi#strokeclenchedhandd#arnistroket#neurorehabrehab

Yes I use my cane and learned
Wow that’s exactly what I did with my stick, it fixed my shoulder
If you want to recover mobility, you need to do daily rehab exercise to help rewire the brain.

A superb new service is changing the way emergency stroke care operates in parts of the East Midlands (Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire) ! 🚀 A new video assessment service is helping patients who show possible stroke symptoms access specialist help faster than ever before. 🚑
This innovative approach allows specialists to assess patients remotely via video link, ensuring they get the right advice and care pathway immediately. This is already done in several areas in the UK, including parts of the East of England (Hertfordshire and others), Hull and East Yorkshire, the North East and London.
These pilot projects and ongoing services use video links, often via tablets or smartphones in ambulances, to connect paramedics with remote stroke specialists for faster assessment and to direct patients to the right care sooner; absolutely vital when every second counts in stroke treatment! ⏰
! 👩⚕️🧑⚕️
A good example of 'simple' technology being used in an obvious way to improve stroke healthcare; ARNIStrokeRehab thinks that this will probably become a national standard within a few years. What do you reckon? Are you as optimistic?! 💙

Unfortunately this video link determined that my husband wasn't having a stroke, even though the experienced paramedics on site thought he was. We therefore queued for hours at A&E (in the ambulance) meaning that it was too late for my husband to have any meaningful treatment. Great idea, but sometimes those closer to the patient might have a better sense of the situation.
