Great presentation by Vignan Vignan Yogendrakumar at #WSC2023 - tenecteplase increases early reperfusion compared with alteplase across the early time spectrum.

Compelling arguments from Bruce Campbell at #WSC2023 in bridging thrombolysis vs direct EVT debate. Give the juice!

Congrats on a typically generous warm and inspiring Excellence in Stroke oration Julie Bernhardt @STROKE2023

Very fortunate to have Michael Hill in Melbourne giving a masterful overview of acute stroke treatments - reperfusion and beyond at @STROKE2023

Great presentation from Mat Reeves on 20 years of the AHA Get with the guidelines program. An inspiration and call to arms for improved stroke care quality Down Under

Terrific to be in Melbourne for the Championing Care joint SSA/Smart Strokes conference! Many thanks to co-chairs Ben and Alexis, all volunteers and our sponsors for making it happen.

Australian times are sadly
similar - direct-CT on the ambulance barouche and same staff crewing to the EVT centre is the answer. Let's bring those DIDO times down under 60.....

For updates and original research in ICH, acute ischaemic stroke, improving stroke systems of care and stroke recovery don't forget to register for the combined SSA/Smart Strokes ASM and pre-conference workshops. stroke2023.org

Another terrific paper from the Boston CAA group - superficial siderosis marks high vs low risk of ICH recurrence in the presence of mixed deep and lobar microbleeds. n.neurology.org/content/101/6/…

Please join us at the combined SSA/Smart Strokes meeting - 'Championing Care' in Melbourne August 22-25 - just one month to go. Great to come together as an entire Australia and New Zealand stroke Community for the first time post-COVID!

Warmest congrats to the first tranche of Australian stroke units to receive certification!
Shoalhaven (NSW)
The Alfred (VIC)
St John of God (WA)
Royal Adelaide (SA)
Launceston (TAS).
Quality stroke unit care is a human right. Let’s make sure it’s accessible to all.

Warmest congratulations Lisa Murphy on your appointment as Stroke Foundation CEO! The Stroke Society of Australasia is delighted to have the opportunity of working shoulder to shoulder with you in your new role, advancing stroke prevention, treatment and research.

Most shocking revelation of this excellent Leigh Sales Lin Manuel Miranda interview? Leigh Sales may be the better piano player! iview.abc.net.au/show/in-the-ro…

UK Junior doctors have had a 35% pay cut in real terms over 15 years. Australia benefits greatly from the UK medical 'brain drain', but recognise that this greatly harms our UK friends. Donate & support striking junior doctors - bma.org.uk/juniorspay #bmastrikefund via The BMA

This is why it's so important to get the diagnosis right. TIA should always be a positive diagnosis, not a left-over explanation for transient neurological symptoms when nothing else fits. Our TIA diagnosis rate in our TIA clinic is 10%.

Great to see the Clarity AD Lecanemab trial now in the NEJM. ‘Game changer’ is an overworn cliche but apropos here. Great news for young Cognitive Neurologist keen to forge a career but especially for the ageing Boomer generation! nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

Thanks Canberra hospital and Shoalhaven hospital who have volunteered to be the first Australian stroke centres applying for Stroke unit certification. Stroke units must not be stroke units in name only - quality Stroke Unit care is a human right!
