By survivors by all. The first of its kind at #ELASF2025. Day 2 opens with a plenary organised & delivered by people with lived experience. We’ve heard such moving, powerful & divergent stories this morning about what living well & a ‘best life’ after stroke looks like 🙌🏻❤️

Another excellent Imperial Stroke Public involvement group today. We discussed research topics the group felt were important. Also interesting discussions around the Stroke Association PREM question - Did you receive support coming to terms with the effects of your stroke?
