🚨 Suspect someone might be having a stroke? Know the signs and act F.A.S.T. by calling 111 if you suspect a stroke. Stroke Foundation NZ has created a fantastic F.A.S.T. campaign that encourages everyone to learn the key signs of stroke and to think F.A.S.T., act fast and look out for each other by calling 111 if they suspect a stroke. Prompt action can save lives - as well as improve recovery! It is vital to recognise when someone is having a stroke and to start treatment as soon as possible because the sooner medical treatment begins, the more likely brain damage can be reduced and a better outcome achieved. The quicker a clot can be dissolved or removed, the less damage is done, and the better the chance of a strong recovery.
