💜 Stroke Awareness Month 💜

A stroke is a serious, time sensitive medical emergency that requires immediate attention. Knowing how to quickly recognise the signs can save lives and reduce long-term effects.
Remember F.A.S.T:
F - Face – Has their face fallen on one side? Can they smile?
A - Arms – Can they raise both arms? Can they keep them there?
S - Speech – Is their speech slurred or are they difficult to understand?
T - Time – If you see any of these signs its time to call 999!

Stroke can strike anyone, regardless of age or gender.

Remember F.A.S.T ‼️

Every minute counts when it comes to stroke.
