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.’

Speakers confirmed for the 3rd session of our life after stroke series on 9 November

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.’

Open call for the Chief Operations Officer of the Stroke Action Plan for Europe

The European Stroke Organisation (ESO) is looking for support for the Stroke Action Plan for Europe (SAP-E) by incorporating the role of Chief Operations Officer (COO) in the leadership structure of the Steering Committee.

SAP-E is a key project that we run in partnership with ESO. It was designed by a group of stroke experts from across Europe and covers the whole stroke care pathway and sets targets for the implementation of evidence-based preventive actions and stroke services until 2030. It’s ultimate goal is to reduce the burden of stroke through the improvement of care at the national and European levels.

ESO is looking for a motivated early mid-career, academic stroke care professional who is interested in actively shaping the future of how stroke is perceived and treated within Europe. They will contribute to the success of SAP-E by supporting and driving implementation of the Stroke Action Plan in respective regional countries.

The deadline for applications is 14 November 2022.
