This Budget has the potential to bring both opportunities and challenges. The boost in digital health funding and frozen prescription charges are positive developments. But reduced choice on Motability is a concern, and we need more detail on funding for health-centre expansion.

Existing guidelines on diet are “so beige to the point of being useless,” says Dr Sundhya Raman. “Prioritise plants on your plate. “If the majority of foods you eat are sourced from plants, it’s a cardio-protective diet,” with the potential to reduce stroke risk by 19%. #UKSF25

Only 200 people in Scotland had a thrombectomy in 2024. We must do better. Innovation is more than an idea. It’s about taking the idea and implementing it effectively. Without that, thrombectomy is nothing but a missed opportunity for thousands of stroke patients. #UKSF25
