Question: With transient ischaemic attacks, would you consider using some of the prize money to promote public awareness of 'FAST' in reaction to somebody facing this 'mini stroke'?
This is a very good idea! There has been a lot of money put into the FAST campaign already but I think what needs currently promoting is the awareness of eye symptoms as a sign of a TIA/stroke. Research has shown a large proportion of the public are unaware of this being a possible symptom and so I think it is highly important people are being made more aware of this. It would definitely a good idea to use some of the prize money to support this.
