Today is World Stroke Day – a time to reflect on the importance of stroke prevention and care for the communities we serve. We're committed to supporting our health systems, enabling them to transform stroke prevention and tackle health inequalities. In North East London primary healthcare providers are identifying individuals at risk, offering targeted support, and helping prevent strokes before they happen. This work is about creating real, lasting change for people who need it most.

Making meaningful impact! Last year our CVD Academy ambassadors reached and supported hundreds of people with their projects focused on cardiovascular disease prevention. Throughout the programme we shared with them the skills, knowledge and networks to enable them to implement projects in their area to solve some of the biggest challenges in cardiovascular disease. Inspired by their impacts? If you too are a GP, pharmacist or nurse with a passion for prevention and solving health inequalities in cardiovascular disease you can apply for our next cohort now: https://lnkd.in/eMFBwaUE #CardiovascularDisease #HealthInnovation #CVDPrevention

Today, the MHRA has licensed donanemab for early stages of Alzheimer's disease - however NICE has not approved it for use in the NHS. This is disappointing news, as was the similar announcement with lecanemab earlier this year. But we know there are many other disease modifying treatments in the pipeline and we need to be ready to deliver treatments like this across our healthcare systems.   Which is why it's so important for organisations like ours to continue to innovate in dementia care. By bridging the gap between academia, industry, healthcare and the third sector, we are accelerating meaningful progress in dementia care, ensuring better outcomes for those affected, both locally and beyond.   Our work is focused on improving the lives of patients with dementia, reducing the pressure on their families and the healthcare system, and reducing existing health inequalities.   If you are interested in working with us, please DM me or reach me at: arup.nath@uclpartners.com UCLPartners John Craig Chris Laing Rebecca Shipley Jessica Thomas Valentina Karas Ilias Zapantis Luís Tojo Libby Graham Ellen McIntosh Katie Harrison

This morning Rachana Bhatt, Jagjot Kaur Chahal, Sotiris Antoniou and I were out and about in Plaistow, speaking to local residents about cholesterol point of care testing in their community pharmacy. It was great to get resident feedback on the current plans and hear their suggestions about how we can make the service even more accessible and supportive for those in the neighbourhood. 👀 Stay tuned to UCLPartners for more information about the Point of Care Testing pilot programme in North East London... coming very soon!
