Professor Avril Drummond (England) will be chairing the session on Fatigue after stroke – what can we do? at our European Life After Stroke series event on 9 November.
Fatigue after stroke is common and debilitating. Yet there are many unanswered questions about fatigue and how best to manage it.
Stroke survivors often say doctors do not talk to them about fatigue and many only learn much later that it is a symptom of stroke. This session will provide an overview of the topic and the important issues for both clinicians and stroke survivors.
Avril will be joined by speakers:
- Ruth Miller, stroke survivor (England)
- Gillian Mead, clinical academic (Scotland)
- Anners Lerdal, clinical researcher (Norway)

We have three plenary sessions for our next life after stroke series that feature key issues faced by people living with stroke.
Each will focus on the real-life experiences of people living with stroke on:
- getting back to work
- coping with fatigue and
- getting active post stroke.
At the going back to work after a stroke, we will discuss how this is an important goal for many but may seem impossible. Yet, a return to professional work is possible.
Speaker, Anders Andersson, stroke survivor, board member, first vice chairman Stroke Foundation, Göteborg, Sweden, will be sharing his experiences.
