With almost 11,000 people in Scotland experiencing a stroke each year, and an estimated 136,000 people in Scotland living with the effects of stroke, raising public awareness of stroke signs and the need to take immediate emergency action when someone is experiencing a stroke is essential to improve health outcomes and save lives.
