PHE have run the Act F.A.S.T. campaign a number of times as it is a simple and straight forward message to help people identify the most common signs of a stroke. Acting FAST as soon as you see any single sign of a stroke not only save lives but potentially limit any long-term effects. The faster you act the better their chances. This campaign will be supported by TV, radio and outdoor advertising, as well as social media and PR.
Here is the TV campaign advert

Case studies
As part of the campaign, PHE are looking for people who have had a stroke and dialed 999, as well as ‘stroke savers’- individuals who have dialled 999 when they have spotted someone displaying stroke symptoms. Do you know anyone who fits these categories? If so, PHE would love to hear from you. Please get in touch at stroke@freuds.com
