Our Stroke HIT brought together researchers, innovators, clinicians and people with lived experience for its first-ever Stroke Research and Innovation Pitch Event at Somerdale Pavilion in Keynsham on 15 October.

Taking inspiration from Dragon’s Den, the event gave presenters the chance to showcase innovative ideas and emerging products designed to improve outcomes for stroke survivors.

Audience members and a panel of experts, representing both lived experience and a range of professional perspectives, offered questions, insights and constructive feedback. This led to lively discussion, helping presenters refine their ideas and explore future opportunities for development and collaboration.

A huge thank you to everyone who took part and contributed to such an inspiring event.
