In this episode we are joined by Dominic Cassidy who is generously sharing his story of his recovery after his brain haemorrhage. And alongside him, we’ll hear from Claire Needham, from Brain Kind, the UK’s leading charity in helping people to thrive after a brain injury by providing innovative rehabilitation and ongoing support to ensure life after brain injury can be a life well lived.
Today, we will be covering:
What challenges survivors face
The emotional toll of returning to work or managing family life post-injury
The importance of redefining purpose and identity after something so life-altering
What support is available post brain haemorrhage
And what the pathway to recovery can look like

This conversation helps us better understand the challenges individuals (and their loved ones) face after a brain haemorrhage, so that we can explore how we can support them better.

In this episode, we explore how artificial intelligence could transform the way we diagnose and treat brain haemorrhage patients.
We are joined by Olivia Murray, researcher at The University of Manchester, whose work looks at how cutting-edge technologies like AI can be harnessed to improve patient outcomes in the most critical moments after a brain haemorrhage.

Together, we discuss:

What are some of the most promising ways AI could help improve diagnosis and patient care in the critical early hours after a brain haemorrhage?


The opportunities and challenges that come with integrating AI into healthcare


What the future could look like for AI in transforming treatment and recovery for patients


This conversation opens up an exciting window into how technology might revolutionise healthcare – and why this could be a game-changer for brain haemorrhage survival and recovery.

In this episode, we ask, what happens in those first few hours after a brain haemorrhage? And why are they so critically important?
We are joined by Chris Ashton, former paramedic, Ambulance Officer and lecturer on acute stroke management and rehabilitation.
Chris has Co-chaired the national prehospital stroke group as a Specialist Paramedic for NHS England and has previously supported as an author for the update of the national Joint Royal Colleges Ambulance Liaison committee stroke guidelines and sits on many national panels including prehospital video triage and thrombectomy just to name a few.
In recent years Chris has supported the Sentinel Stroke National Audit Programme team as a national quality improvement facilitator with a strong focus on clinical ‘Pre-Hospital Care’ whilst also presenting some of his work at both the European Stroke conference and the UK stroke forum conference.

Together, we explore:
Why is time so important when it comes to getting a brain haemorrhage treated and what is the golden window?
What are the 4 critical stages before a patient arrives at hospital with a potential brain haemorrhage?
What are common issues delaying people getting to hospital?
What are the opportunities to get people to hospital quicker?
What role does the public play in getting some treated quicker?


This conversation helps us better understand what we can do to improve the chances of someone surviving a brain haemorrhage.
