🙌"This is a whole system response."
🧑⚕️ The Health Minister praised the "clinical excellence" of teams as he officially announced the regional thrombectomy service is now 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Delighted that 24/7 thrombectomy services are now a reality in Northern Ireland.
Two years ago, as Chair of the APG on Stroke, I presented a petition in the Assembly calling for this.
Huge Credit to the @TheStrokeAssoc, @nichstweet and all who campaigned for this service.

We would love to hear from #youngstroke survivors, we are investigating the #psychological #impact of #stroke app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk… @diffstrokes @TheStrokeAssoc
Thanks @MatthewOToole2 for meeting with @strokeassocni to discuss 24/7 thrombectomy. A service that saves lives should be available to everyone eligible no matter when or where they have a stroke. #savingbrains

I was privileged to take part in a short film making the case for availability of thrombectomy procedures 24/7 in Northern Ireland:

I find it frankly baffling that this service, scheduled to be in place by end 2024, remains time-restricted.
