We are delighted to welcome you to the inaugural Southwest Stroke Conference 2019.This conference is the fruit of a collaboration of the regional NHS trusts and health professionals and is organized in collaboration between the Royal Devon and Exeter NHS Foundation Trust and the University of Exeter Medical School. It brings together leading experts in the field to deliver an exciting and bespoke programme and update in the rapidly changing field of Stroke Medicine. The programme covers a wide range of issues on acute stroke/TIA management and rehabilitation as well as a debate on the regional development in thrombectomy services and an expert overview on the future of stroke services both regionally and nationally.

Details of the speakers and the topics covered can be found within this booklet. In addition, you can

also find details of our sponsors who have made generous contributions to keep down the cost of registration for this event, and we are very grateful to them for their support.

reflect a mixed underlying pathology• New types of data such as polygenic risk scores and new analytic techniques such as machine

learning provide powerful tools to advance our understanding.

David works within the Academic Unit of Elderly Care and Rehabilitation, which is part of the Institute of Health Sciences at the University of Leeds, UK. He is an experienced qualitative researcher working primarily in the area of stroke rehabilitation. David has a keen interest in how health professionals in stroke services understand and manage their work.

Dr Jonathan Hewitt

Jonathan has been a Clinical Senior Lecturer in Geriatric Medicine at Cardiff University and an Honorary Consultant Stroke, Geriatric and general Physician for the Anuerin Bevan Health Board, since September 2012. His career combines service, teaching and research. He runs a clinical team in Caerphilly and is course director for the MSc in Ageing Health and Disease in Cardiff University.

Following medical school in London, he trained in geriatric and general medicine in East Anglia. During that time he was awarded an NHS Research and Development Fellowship, which funded an MSc in Epidemiology and subsequent PhD in Diabetes in the Older Person, at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.

He has two primary research interests. The first is stroke; primarily patient relevant outcomes and epidemiology. The second is surgical epidemiology in Older People. This work can be seen as part of the Older Persons Surgical Outcomes Collaboration, which I co-founded www.opsoc.eu.

He is also interested in large scale databases and Biobanking, especially the UK Biobank. His interest in the UK Biobank stems from his role as the Vice Chairman of their Ethics and Governance Council, http://www.egcukbiobank.org.uk/, having served as a member of the committee between 2009 - 2017. His interest in research ethics also involves being Chairman of the Cardiff School of Medicine Research Committee. He therefore has a high level of understanding of the importance and governance of large scale data collection, the issues surrounding data security and essential need for public confidence and engagement in data management.

He is the immediate past Chair of The British Geriatrics Society in Wales. He is a member of the academic committee of both the British Association of Stroke Physicians and the British Geriatric Society. He serves on the Joint Committee for Stroke at the Royal College of Physicians and for the last 4 years has been the NHCRW (NIHR) Stroke Lead for Wales, where he has overseen more than a tripling of Welsh recruitment into portfolio adopted studies.

Professor Andrew Sharp

Andrew qualified from Edinburgh Medical School in 1998. He was appointed as a Consultant Cardiologist at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital in 2011 and Honorary Associate Professor by the University of Exeter in 2018 before moving to the University Hospital of Wales in the summer of 2019.

He conducted his early training at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, before moving to London for his senior clinical training. He completed the prestigious Milan-Imperial Interventional Cardiology Fellowship programme, having spent a year in San Raffaele and Columbus Hospitals, Milan, Italy, under the tutelage of Professor Antonio Colombo. He also spent three years training in interventional cardiology at St Mary’s Hospital and The Hammersmith Hospital (Imperial College Hospitals) in London.

Dr Sharp was awarded an MD postgraduate research degree from the University of Edinburgh for his work on the hypertensive heart and currently leads a large research programme at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital. He has been Principal Investigator in more than 30 ethically-approved research trials since 2012 and has published extensively. He has an international reputation for leading the development of device-based treatments for hypertension (in particular that of renal denervation) and pulmonary embolism, as well as the advancement of intracoronary imaging and physiology.

Dr Marcus Bradley

Marcus is a graduate of St Mary’s Hospital Medical School in London and has a strong track record within Neurosciences at both an undergraduate and a postgraduate level. He began training in Neuroradiology in 2005 and was appointed as Consultant at North Bristol NHS Trust in 2008. During this time he has been a member of the global Interventional Neuroradiology community that has taken endovascular treatment of acute stroke from a range of experimental procedures through to being a highly effective medical intervention, now the proven standard of care for large vessel occlusion. Interventional Neuroradiology is a highly specialised area of medical practice primarily involved in the endovascular treatment of intracranial vascular pathologies including aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, and dural arteriovenous fistulae, providing an alternative or adjunct to open neurosurgery. The expertise he has acquired in this practice has been an essential foundation on which he has built and helped develop treatments for stroke and it also the reason stroke thrombectomy has naturally developed within Neuroscience centres. He is a committed trainer of the next generation of Neuroradiologists and was Training Programme Director for Radiology in the Severn region for 6 years, a period which saw an expansion in the number of Neuroradiology training places. He completed an MBA at Imperial College Business School over the last 2 years alongside his full-time clinical and managerial responsibilities. He has taken on further senior management roles and is currently Consultant Interventional Neuroradiologist and Clinical Lead for Imaging at North Bristol NHS Trust, focusing on service development, and a Committee Member of the Healthcare Professional Interest Network at Imperial College Business School.”
