Let’s chat about stroke

Introduction

Following Stroke Awareness Day on October 29, experts from the Stroke Center at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi will be hosting a series of educational webinars, called ‘Let’s chat about stroke’. The online events will see team members from the program discuss everything you need to know about the life-threatening condition.

The first webinar in the series, called ‘Understanding stroke’, will explore what happens when someone has a stroke, and highlight the risk factors that might be putting you at an increased risk. Our team will also discuss what life is like for a patient and their family, after a stroke.

Our speakers include:

• Dr. Victoria Mifsud, Neurologist, Stroke Program Director: ‘What is a stroke?’
• Dr Khalid Al-Sharif, Neuro hospitalist: ‘Stroke risk factors’
• Daniela Chiciuc, Clinical Stroke Coordinator: ‘Life after stroke: tips that every stroke survivor should know’

The discussion will be followed by a live Q&A session, where the audience will have the opportunity to raise questions with our team.

We look forward to welcoming you to this informative event, and let’s chat about stroke.
