Stroke FAST — call 119 straight away

If even one of the following appears suddenly, call 119 immediately. Time is brain.

  • Face: one side of the face droops and the smile is uneven
  • Arm: the arm and leg on one side go weak
  • Speech: speech is slurred or the words will not come
  • Time: note the time the symptoms started and call 119 right away

Even if the symptoms ease off for a while (a transient ischaemic attack), you still need to be seen the same day.
