What’s going on? An explosive record month for @VSTprogram with 419 calls, way more than pre-Covid (~250). Why?? All theories welcomed! Superb work from @AmbulanceVic stroke specialists and many others to support stroke care in regional hospitals. @strokefdn

Stroke survivor Julie and our very own Prof. Chris Bladin @StrokeAus talk about how @VSTprogram is providing life-saving care. Julie suffered a large stroke last Tuesday but thanks to VST, is now home. Worth a listen! 👏🚑 m.soundcloud.com/user-189330…

Wonderful article by Bruce Campbell @TheRMH highlighting @VSTprogram and feasibility of multimodal CT stroke imaging even in small hospitals. More specific diagnosis, targeted transfers, reduce costs.

Social distancing saves lives. For those who aren’t doing it, now is the time to start. Our paramedics want you to take this seriously and from today you will be seeing their message on their vehicles.
Stay at home and keep your distance #socialdistancing #COVID19Aus

Victoria's @VSTprogram and South Aust are showing how #telehealth can be used to link regional and rural centres with expert clinicians based in comprehensive stroke centres in the major cities providing them assistance with early diagnosis and referral pathways. #fightstroke
Except in Victoria with @VSTprogram and @AmbulanceVic delivering high quality acute stroke care with outcomes equivalent to metro hospitals. Stroke telemedicine is needed across all of regional Australia. @strokefdn @SaferCareVic @FloreyStroke @AustStrokeReg
