StrokeConnections newsletter – Winter/spring 2019

Welcome to the winter edition of StrokeConnections

We think you’ll enjoy our story about Col Nelson, whose life was saved by a quick-thinking and caring stranger. Stroke is always a medical emergency, and the story of how the ambulance got to Col is amazing.

This edition also features stroke survivor Toni Arfaras’ experience of living with an invisible disability. Invisible disabilities can’t be seen by other people and can create challenges. Toni shares her story, along with advice from the StrokeLine team.

We also have news of a new report on the last twenty years of stroke care in Australia. The report highlights some lifesaving improvements, and some work still to be done. We take a look at the National Disability Insurance Scheme and a new edition of the essential stroke guide, My Stroke Journey.
