There are four key ways to identify if someone you know or someone around you is suffering from a stroke. The FAST Test which is recognised in Australia by the Stroke Foundation as a way to identify stroke is important to understand as it is a critical time for the individual to get the help they need. Attending to an individual with a stroke as quickly as possible can help the individual with their recovery process.
