The conference is just around the corner, and your chance to access tickets at standard ticket prices* ends at 5pm on Monday 10th November, so don’t miss your final opportunity to be part of this landmark event celebrating 20 years of collaboration, innovation, and lived experience in stroke care.

Register now to secure your place.

Whether you’re a clinician, researcher, therapist, or policymaker, this year’s Forum offers an unmissable chance to connect with global leaders, hear from survivors, and explore the future of stroke care.

Delegates will gain fresh global perspectives from leading experts including Professor Sir Chris Whitty (remotely) in our bumper opening plenary.

Innovations in rehabilitation will be showcased by Dr Kate Hayward (Australia) and Dr Christoph Bauer (Switzerland), while Dr Ajay Bhalla and Dr Camila Pantoja Ruiz will explore how three decades of data are transforming clinical practice.

Advances in dysphagia care will be presented by Dr Sabrina Eltringham and Dr Jacqueline Benfield, and the human impact of stroke will be powerfully conveyed through the lived experiences of survivors Amy Callaghan, Sheila Chingono, and Jak Carr.

Our at-a-glance programme is available on our website.

We’re also proud to introduce a new green presentation zone, spotlighting sustainable stroke care practices – because the future of health must also be environmentally conscious.

And don’t miss out on all the social activities on offer, from our 20th birthday bash, a Dark Skies experience and a chance to visit the ONE BioHub (additional charges may apply).
