Action on Stroke Month

This Assembly:

Notes that May 2013 is Action on Stroke Month, during which the Stroke Association will:

  • publish research highlighting the emotional impact of stroke; and

  • join forces with Community Pharmacists and public health colleagues to run a Wales wide campaign to combat high blood pressure and atrial fibrillation – two of the biggest risk factors for stroke – to prevent strokes.

Welcomes Action on Stroke Month’s aim to:

  • strengthen the voice of stroke survivors and their carers;

  • raise stroke awareness; and

  • champion improvements in life after stroke services.
