Hi everybody, we have our first Aintree hospital stroke prevention patient education session on Wednesday at 1:00 p.m. We've invited people who've had a stroke at the point of being discharged from hospital. This is our first attempt and we haven't had many responses so there are still a few slots in that meeting. If anybody here is interested in joining us either for their own learning or to help by giving us feedback on how we can improve the sessions, you'd be very welcome. Please let me know and we can give you further details.

Good evening. Please find attached below the home BP monitoring form that Maggie mentioned in our meeting in Sunday I have also attached it in the Classroom section in the Home Blood Pressure Monitoring section. I will also soon upload Prof Chatterjee's guide to blood glucose but am having a few issues with uploading the file today.

Happy Saturday everybody! Just a quick reminder that we have our monthly prevention catch up tomorrow at 6pm. Link in the calendar section of the website. A chance for us to catch up, see how everybody's getting on and talk about what we're going to do this month to reduce our stroke risk. Feel free to bring your blood pressure monitors along and share your latest blood pressure too!

👋 Welcome to the Stroke-Proof Community! We’re building something special here — a movement to prevent 1 million strokes. To make this a safe, supportive, and inspiring place, we ask every member to live by this simple pledge: 🫶 Our Community Pledge ✔️ Respect first — we’re survivors, families, doctors, and prevention-minded people. Everyone’s story matters. ✔️Engage with with group. This isn't about one doctor lecturing a group. We all have important information and experience to share. ✔️ Evidence over hype — we share strategies backed by science, not fads or fear. To help others tell the difference we cite our sources, even if the source is just personal experience. ✔️ No diagnoses or prescriptions — support each other, but leave medical decisions to your own doctor or message me for a private consultation. ✔️ Protect privacy — what’s shared here, stays here. ✔️ No spam — we’re here to help, not hustle. ✔️ Stay positive & constructive — we’re here to build each other up and take real action. ✔️ Share the message - If you think this group has the potential to help you or others to avoid having a stroke, please share a link to others to join us.

Good morning. Today I'm attaching the third instalment of Prof Chatterjee's series on blood sugar management. II actually thought I had posted this the week before last, so to catch us up I'm going to post part 3 today and part 4 on Wednesday. I will then add the whole 8 part series into the classroom section of Stroke-Proof for you to review at your leisure.
