    Getting involved with clinical trials (with Dr Tina Soulis)

    Clinical trials are enormous undertakings, with complex rules and regulations to ensure the trial is safe and effective. But did you know that there are entire organisations that can ensure your trial runs smoothly?

     (NTA) is a subsidiary of the Florey that provides support for clinical trials. We spoke to CEO, Dr Tina Soulis, about tips for researchers who might be involved in a clinical trial.

    How telemedicine can save lives

    How telemedicine can save lives

    The Victorian Stroke Telemedicine Program () enables rural patients having a stroke to be seen by Melbourne-based stroke experts hundreds of kilometres away.

    Kate Comer was picking her son up from daycare when she had her stroke in Hamilton, 300 kilometres from Melbourne. She tells her story of how the VST allowed her to receive life-saving treatment quickly.

    We also speak to Professor Chris Bladin and Professor Dominique Cadilhac, the leaders of the VST program, about its success.

    6 ways the Australian Stroke Clinical Registry improved stroke care in 2017

    The Australian Stroke Clinical Registry () is a nationwide registry that records information on patients with stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA or "mini-stroke). Established in 2009, the registry has released its 2017 .

    We talk to Professor Dominique Cadilhac, Data Custodian of AuSCR, about what the registry achieved in 2017 and how it continues to help improve stroke care.

    Improving clinical decision making in stroke with Venesha Rethnam

    Decisions about treatment after stroke involve many factors, combining the latest evidence with the doctor's clinical judgement about the patient in front of them. But how can we use data to improve this decision making? Venesha Rethnam, a PhD student in the Florey Stroke theme, explains.

    Measuring disability after stroke with Venesha Rethnam

    Measuring disability after stroke with Venesha Rethnam

    After stroke, disability and dependence is measured using the Modified Rankin Scale (mRS). But this doesn't take stroke survivors' quality of life into account.

    In her most recently published paper, PhD student Venesha Rethnam has been looking at an alternative way of measuring disability after stroke that does incorporate quality of life: the utility-weighted modified Rankin Scale.

    Translating research into practice with Dr Karen Borschmann

    Everyone in stroke research wants to improve the lives of people affected by stroke. But no matter how incredible your scientific breakthrough is, it's of no use if the findings aren't then communicated and used in clinical practice.

    Today we talk to Dr Karen Borschmann () about how we get those findings from bench to bedside.

Well, that's what the Florey's Dr. Carli Roulston and the Bionics Institute's Associate Professor Chris Williams have pioneered. Although in the early stages of development, this device will improve quality of life for the many people who live with disability following stroke.

    Prof Vincent Thijs on cryptogenic stroke and AF

    Prof Vincent Thijs on cryptogenic stroke and AF

    Up to 40% of ischaemic strokes have no known cause, and thus are classified as 'cryptogenic stroke'. Some of these strokes may be caused by atrial fibrillation (AF), an abnormal heart rhythm that can lead to blood clots from the heart travelling up into the brain. In today's podcast, Prof Vincent Thijs is back, talking about how to detect AF in stroke patients, and what we can do about cryptogenic stroke.
