We need to stop stroke. FAST.
When stroke strikes, every second counts. But it's not always possible to know how much time has passed since a stroke began.
Researcher Dr Grant Mair is being funded by the Stroke Association to develop a clock tool for CT scans, which doctors could use to estimate when a stroke has started. This could mean that more stroke patients will get vital treatments that can have a huge impact on their recovery.
Stroke strikes every five minutes in the UK. We need your help to stop it devastating lives.
Stroke research is seriously underfunded. Your donation today could help fund critical research that finds new ways to identify, prevent and treat stroke.
