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.

GM(Greater Manchester) Neurorehab & Integrated Stroke Delivery Network Annual Conference

Your doctor can review the info presented to see if anything is useful for your recovery, I'm not spending the time.

You can view the slides and recordings of the talks, as well as all the posters from our competition here.

 GM(Greater Manchester) Neurorehab & Integrated Stroke Delivery Network Annual Conference


We held our first joint stroke and neurorehabilitation annual conference on the 20th March at the AJ Bell Stadium in Eccles. We also offered a live stream for those who could not attend in person
You can view the slides and recordings of the talks, as well as all the posters from our competition here.

The event was attended by over 150 people and featured keynote speaker Professor Avril Drummond who delivered an engaging and thought provoking presentation on fatigue(But nothing concrete on curing fatigue, survivors would like it cured!). Another highlight was a talk by our new PPI Co-ordinator Abi that featured a video of members of our newly merged Patient & Carer Group, with a workshop on the subject the most popular of the four options available.
The day also offered a wide variety of both charitable and commercial exhibitors and plenty of breaks giving attendees the chance to catch up with colleagues and learn more about services and products.
Our poster competition featured our largest ever number of entries, which necessitated having two judging teams per category! The winning poster in the pre-hospital and inpatient care category was Implementing Integrated Care Pathway (ICP) for Management of Hemiplegic Shoulder Pain (HSP) Following Stroke, to Improve Functional Outcomes and Reduce Prescription of Pain Analgesia from Stepping Hill Hospital Stroke Unit (pictured right with Tracy). The community and longer term support category was won by a poster entitled Working relationships and self-management in community stroke rehabilitation: the perspectives of healthcare professionals by staff at The University of Manchester.
The climax of the day was the presentation of the Tyrrell and Chadwick Awards for outstanding contribution to stroke and neurorehabilitation care respectively. The former was awarded to Dr Khalil Kawafi (pictured left with his wife Eva), stroke clinical lead at Fairfield General Hospital, former Strategic Clinical Director lead for stroke and passionate champion of the region’s stroke pathway. The Chadwick Award was presented to Harriet Allen, Trafford community team lead, who has supported a number of network initiatives over the years. We also presented a special achievement award to our Community Director Tracy Walker who is stepping down at the end of March after over 8 years in the role.
