National Stroke Week | 3β9 August 2026
This week, Bunbury Family Doctors is proud to support National Stroke Week by helping raise awareness of the signs of stroke and the importance of acting FAST.
A stroke can happen to anyone, at any age. Recognising the signs early and calling 000 immediately can save a life and reduce the risk of permanent disability.
Remember F.A.S.T.:
π F β Face: Has their face drooped?
π A β Arms: Can they lift both arms?
π S β Speech: Is their speech slurred or difficult to understand?
π T β Time: Call 000 immediately. Every minute counts.
Throughout the week, our doctors and nursing team will be providing F.A.S.T. information packs to patients to help spread this important message.
Together, we can increase awareness, recognise the signs, and help save lives.
