Ronnie had a thrombectomy, a stroke treatment that was only rolled out thanks to stroke research. Hear how it transformed his recovery.

When dad-of-three Ronnie had a stroke on Christmas Eve 2018, he thought it was the end. But thanks to stroke research, a “miraculous” emergency treatment meant he was able to rebuild his life.

Professor Audrey Bowen, from the University of Manchester, is funded by the Stroke Association to carry out research into strategies for coping with cognitive difficulties after stroke. Like many researchers across the UK, Professor Bowen’s work has been affected by the pandemic.

Research can make a difference in the lives of people affected by stroke, by finding improvements in how we can treat stroke and stop it from happening.

We have several partner organisations which we co-fund research with, as well as other organisations we work with to increase the focus on stroke research.

Our policy positions on research set out where we stand on big issues such as using animals or stem cells in research.
