The event was kindly supported by ISS, who have raised an incredible £70,000 in the first year of our partnership and continue to work with the Stroke Association to help rebuild lives after stroke.
The host of the event was television presenter and journalist, Kaye Adams, and the presentations were delivered by three incredible speakers; Professor Nick Ward, Fiona Lloyd-Davies and Professor Jane Burridge. All three presentations were live streamed on our Facebook page and can be watched again below.

Nick Ward is Professor of Clinical Neurology and Neurorehabilitation at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery and UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology. Professor Ward’s presentation examined how lessons from studying the neuroscience of brain injury, particularly the idea of brain plasticity, can bring hope to stroke survivors.
