From family members to bystanders, everyday Australians are being called on to become ‘F.A.S.T. heroes’ this National Stroke Week by learning to recognise the signs of stroke and acting quickly when stroke strikes.
F.A.S.T. highlights the three most common signs of stroke (Face drooping, Arm weakness, and Speech difficulty) and emphasises the importance of Time when it comes to recognising and treating a stroke. A stroke is always a medical emergency.
This year’s theme is F.A.S.T (Face, Arms, Speech, Time) heroes, recognising the people who spotted the signs of stroke and called an ambulance straight away, potentially saving a life.
