A stroke is a life-threatening medical condition.
The second you suspect a stroke is the second you dial 999 or 112.
Think F.A.S.T. Face, Arms, Speech, Time.

Hearing from Stephen who survived a cardiac arrest and how his wife & fast access to all parts of the chain of survival saved his life. Very moving. Stephen & Margaret are now volunteer community first responders @NIAS. @nichstweet @QUBelfast
