Because my stroke happened outside 8am–5pm, thrombectomy wasn’t available. This is what having a stroke outside of these hours looks like. This is the lived experience of around 140 people in Northern Ireland every year.

A 24/7 service was promised by the end of 2024. More than 500 days later, it still hasn’t happened.

People in Northern Ireland continue every year to miss out on this life-saving treatment.

The Stroke Association is calling for urgent action.

📍 Join stroke survivors, campaigners and clinicians
🕙 10am, Tuesday 19 May 2026
📌 Steps of Parliament Buildings, Stormont

📧 RSVP: pam.tilson@stroke.org.uk
(Include your car details if you need accessible parking)

Let’s make sure no one misses treatment because of the time of day.

Great to see an occupational therapy initiative making the news! Our profession is generally so poorly understood with its diversity under recognised. This is a great project to raise awareness of the scope of our practice. A massive well done to all involved!

A school in Draperstown is part of a groundbreaking project working with occupational therapists.
