Stroke Association "Amazing Brains" Event 2022

UTILISE project PI, Professor Rosemary Varley, and researcher Fern Rodgers, were thrilled to be able to attend this year’s Stroke Association “Amazing Brains” event (in person!) last week.

Three speakers, Dr Terry Quinn, Professor Audrey Bowen, and Professor Adewale Adebajo (MBE) delivered engaging talks with the central theme of thinking and memory. The speakers gave plenty of food for thought to the audience at the Francis Crick Institute, as well as to hundreds of people that tuned in online. The presentations were informed by both clinical and research understanding, as well as first-hand experience of stroke illness and ongoing recovery.

Thank you again to the Stroke Association for hosting and giving us an insight into other innovative research projects aiming to improve the lives of stroke survivors by recognising everyone’s individual needs. Fundraising is essential to keep such research alive, so please consider donating to the cause, if you can.
