We’re heading to Aberdeen on 25th – 27th November for the UK Stroke Forum (UKSF) 2025 — the UK’s leading stroke conference, where stroke professionals, researchers, and people with lived experience come together to drive real change.
Over three energising days, we’ll explore every stage of the stroke pathway through a packed programme of training, workshops, honest conversations and cutting-edge research.
Register now so you don’t miss out.
How’s this year’s programme shaping up....
Expect big ideas, bold questions, and powerful voices:
New in 2025
For our 20th anniversary, we’re introducing a lived experience-led plenary on the SAFE methodology, developed by Australian stroke survivor Caleb Rixon.
This interactive session – delivered with a UK panel of survivors and carers – dives into what makes care feel truly safe (Specific, Affirming, Fun, Engaging). Through live polling and co-creation, you’ll help shape more inclusive, survivor-led spaces for stroke care and research.
This year, we’re not just including lived experience—we’re putting it at the centre of the programme.
We’re also excited to have a brand-new green presentation zone dedicated to sustainable stroke care, with a particular focus on the benefits of nature for stroke prevention and recovery.
With speakers from the fields of lifestyle medicine and ecotherapy as well as opportunities for discussion on the role of the stroke community in addressing climate change, this space invites fresh thinking on how the stroke community can contribute to climate action.
And of course, UKSF wouldn’t be UKSF without its signature social events.
This year’s line-up includes our 20th anniversary celebrations, guided nature walks, an exclusive ONE BioHub tour, and a magical dark skies experience (additional charges apply). It’s your chance to connect, unwind, and celebrate everything we’ve achieved—and everything still to come.

Whatever your role in stroke care or recovery, UKSF25 offers space to listen, learn, and move things forward—together.
