Today was the last meeting of the Work Together Project, following 6 months of working with our South Asian stroke survivor and carer collaborators to understand how we can better support participation in research. Grateful to all involved.. We've learned so much, now to put it into practice!

South Asian people in the UK are more likely to experience #stroke but frequently underrepresented in research. Looking forward to learning how we can work collaboratively with this underserved group to design participatory research that meets their needs: ageingstrokeresearch.org/research-pro...

Achromatopsia poster. It shows a drawing of glasses. In one lens you can see letters in all colours. In the other lens, the same letters are in black and white. At the bottom there are come colouring pencils. A cartoon character is pointing to the yellow pencil and says 'what colour is this?' another character is saying 'yellow'. At the top is a post-it note that says '22% of stroke survivors will have some form of achromatopsia'. The main text reads: "This refers to a difficulty recognising or perceiving colour. The world can appear in shades of grey, or just look more dull. This can make it hard to tell the difference between similar shades of colours such as yellow and green. Difficulties can be restricted to either the left or right side of vision, or can cover both sides. There is no cure for achromatopsia, but managing its symptoms can look like: asking others to point out the colours of things, wearing tinted lenses to help with light sensitivity, using technology like apps to identify colour"
