Public Talk: The Next Stroke Revolution: Predicting and Personalising Recovery

Acute stroke care has improved dramatically in the last 30 years, helping more people survive. But life after stroke is still a big challenge. Many stroke survivors face long-term disability, and recovery often slows after six months. We don’t fully understand why some people recover well and others don’t. A new long-term study by the Perron Institute aims to change this by tracking stroke recovery and personal factors to develop better, personalised treatments. Join us to explore how this research could transform stroke recovery.
