Knowing what a stroke is and recognising its signs and symptoms can make a vital difference to recovery.

Someone has a stroke in the UK every five minutes. Surveys regularly show that most people cannot name the three main symptoms of stroke, yet stroke claims 67,000 lives a year and is the leading cause of disability. Thousands of deaths and cases of disability could be avoided if people could spot the symptoms and seek immediate treatment.
