In the time that you listen to this episode of Think: Health, 3 people will have had a stroke.

Stroke is Australia’s second biggest killer- yet many people remain ignorant of the causes and signs of stroke.

This week is National Stroke Week, and we are dedicating an entire episode to stroke. We take an in depth look at stroke, what it is, how it affects people, and what new treatments are available.

We also take a look at what is happening in the UK with African Caribbean Women. New research has looked at how this migrant community copes with stroke.
