Deans' stroke musings: Stroke survivor to lead Stroke Association’s board

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Inform him that he needs to lead the Stroke Association to solve stroke to 100% recovery! Ignore all the stroke medical 'professionals' that say it can't be done.

Create that great stroke association and leave behind the fucking failures of stroke associations!

Stroke survivor to lead Stroke Association’s board

The Stroke Association has named Jason Parker, who had a stroke at the age of 45, as its next chair.

The partner at professional services firm KPMG takes charge of the charity’s board when current chair Stephen King steps down in January 2026 after eight years.

The charity says Parker has made a good recovery after having a stroke, which had initially left him paralysed, in a wheelchair and with mental health issues.

He has been supporting the charity for the last 18 months as an independent advisor to its Audit and Risk and Finance committees, as well as being involved in campaigns, public speaking and fundraising.

“Not only does Jason bring passion and lived experience to the role, he also brings extensive leadership and business expertise,” said the charity.

Parker said: “It is a huge privilege to take on this role – a job that I would never have dreamed of doing before my major stroke.

“Having experienced first-hand the devastation that stroke brings to physical and mental health for both the individual and their support network, I have been determined to do all I can to spread awareness and support anyone equally impacted, irrespective of background or post code.

"In uncertain economic and geopolitical times, we have a huge opportunity to be a force for good, providing hope, challenging inequity and rebuilding lives.

"I will be as tireless in pushing for change as I was in learning to walk again.”

Stroke Association chief executive Juliet Bouverie added: “Jason’s experience of stroke and his recovery, combined with his professional expertise, leadership qualities and growth mindset, make him a compelling choice to guide our charity into its next phase.

“We wanted someone with lived experience but also a proven track record of innovation and someone who leads with inclusion and diversity of thought. Jason was the stand-out candidate in this regard.”
