Our aims for 2009

National

We are currently developing a Health Professional Network whereby health professionals in various states register their contact details to deliver strokesafe™ seminars to community groups, on behalf of the National Stroke Foundation.  Seminars will cover information about what a stroke is, the signs of stroke, risk factors and stroke prevention.
