Hello, #aphasia community. Have you seen our #BASconf25 conference logo? It's inspired by the beautiful rail bridge that brings you across the river Tay and into Dundee. Here's a bonnie photo of the bridge taken today. #SpotTheDifference More info: Blogs.city.ac.uk/bas2025

Thank you so much to @UKStrokeForum @TheStrokeAssoc and @BIASPstroke for an incredible 3 days in Liverpool. Loved the focus on living well after stroke from talks/posters on sex, relationships, psychological care, returning to meaningful activities and supporting self management

Replying to @_CityAccess
Samantha told us that taking part has: - supported her mood, by showing her activities she can get involved in - given her her "mojo back" - helped her take small steps towards returning to work - reminded her that, even though she has aphasia, she is still the same person
