Dear Optical Practice,
May is Stroke Awareness Month.
Please share the following messages with your teams, ideally as part of your routine staff training / team meetings.
Stroke can affect the patients visiting our optical practices, our staff members, or our friends and family. We need to know the signs to look out for. Recognising the signs – and knowing what to do – means we can raise the alarm in time to prevent life-changing illness.
Act FAST
- Please share the linked poster and this video.
- Discuss the risk factors and what we can do to prevent stroke
- Discuss this as a team – does everyone know what to do if they see the signs of stroke?
