Did you know that mechanical thrombectomy for stroke is 7 times more effective than thrombolysis for MI? It saves lives, reduces disability. Much of the UK still doesn’t have 24hrs access to thrombectomy and only 4% of stroke patients get one. #anaesthesia2025

The opening keynote lecture at #Anaesthesia2025 was from
Mike Nesbitt, Minister of Health for Northern Ireland.

The Minister stressed the importance of pre-operative assessment for ensuring patient safety and helping to reduce the longest waiting lists in the UK.

It may have been published during the COVID-19 pandemic but still rings true today.

Well worth a read and as ever Harvard Business School do not fail to deliver with the courage to speak to what matters most.
