Welcome to the Recess Room podcast.

Five, four, three, two, one, fire.

So hi, and welcome back to the Reeser Room podcast.

I'm Simon Lang. I'm Rob Fenwick.

And I'm James Edd.

And this time we're back with another roadside to recess,

and we've tried to bite off much more than we can chew.

We're going to be covering stroke.

Oh yes.

Sit down for a four-hour masterpiece.

I think it's fair to say that when we started looking at this,

we realised quite rapidly that there were going to be a number of listeners

snoozing halfway through it. So we've split this one up. So this one essentially is going to be

about stroke and about the identification of stroke, covering a few of the risk factors,

differentials and screening tools that we might use, both pre-hospicely and in hospital and how we're going to

make that diagnosis.

Next month, our plan is to come back with a bit about management.

So you're going to want to listen to both of these.

Plug-plug.

But you know what?

I'm really excited about this topic.

And I think the more I've read a round stroke, the more I've realized that there's a bit of energy around it.
