On this World Stroke Day it’s important to remember that stroke can happen at ANY age, to anyone, at anytime!
It’s important to know the signs of FAST
F - has their face drooped
A - can they raise both arms
S - is their speech slurred, can they understand
T - time to call an ambulance
Every second matters
