The ANGIE project aims to change the way we practice medicine by developing micro-robots for localised, targeted drug delivery to unblock blood vessels and fight stroke from within.
This ground-breaking project is funded by the EU and aims to develop nano-surgeons that will enter the body to treat blood clots.
Questions around issues related to communication, ethics, law, policy, and education will be discussed before the newly developed technology is released. This online event will discuss new market opportunities in the pharmaceutical industries.
Join the meeting via Zoom on 28 November 2022, 16.00 – 18.00 CET.

There are three interesting sessions covering key issues faced by people living with stroke: getting back to work; fatigue and getting active. Chaired by Dr Carina Persson (Sweden), Professor Avril Drummond (England), and Juliet Bouverie (England) respectively. Each session will include a mix of presentations from stroke survivors and academically active speakers in the field of life after stroke.
‘There are many issues for people after a stroke including getting back to a good quality of life that is worth living. This event will focus on three areas that are really important to help those living with stroke get their lives back on track. This event is for anyone with an interest in life after stroke and keen to improve services and care post stroke and rehabilitation.’

Juliet Bouverie (England) will be chairing this important session on physical activity.
We know that it is important that stroke survivors are active. This session will include a summary of the evidence base for physical activity after stroke, how therapists support stroke survivors to get and stay physically active. A stroke survivor will share their experiences and motivation to move more.
Juliet will be joined by:
- Craig Pankhurst (UK)
- Mari Gunnes (Norway)
- Sarah Moore (UK)
- Grethe Lunde (Norway)
The session will help to bust some common myths about physical activity and stroke, including that it is not all about sweat and lycra!
‘We should continue to develop personalised approaches that can support and empower stroke survivors to make physical activity a part of their everyday lives in the long-term.’
Mari Gunnes, Norway
We are currently seeking accreditation for this event from the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education.
