๐Ÿง  May is Stroke Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness of the signs of stroke and the importance of acting FAST.

A stroke is a medical emergency, and recognising the symptoms quickly can help save lives and reduce long-term disability.

Remember the FAST signs:
๐ŸŸฃ Face โ€“ Has their face fallen on one side?
๐ŸŸข Arms โ€“ Can they raise both arms and keep them there?
๐ŸŸก Speech โ€“ Is their speech slurred or strange?
๐Ÿ”ด Time โ€“ Time to call 999 immediately if you spot any of these symptoms

Small lifestyle changes can also help reduce your risk of stroke, including staying active, eating a balanced diet, stopping smoking, and managing blood pressure and cholesterol.

For more information about stroke symptoms, prevention and support, visit the NHS website:
