In this episode of Well-Being, Guy Murphy speaks with Dr. Carlos Garcia-Esperon, Director of Acute Stroke Services at the John Hunter Hospital, about the warning signs of stroke, the importance of rapid treatment, and the factors that influence recovery.

The discussion explores how stroke affects far more than physical function, with many patients experiencing fatigue, mood changes, and other often overlooked challenges that can impact quality of life. Dr. Garcia-Esperon also highlights groundbreaking research underway in Newcastle, including an international clinical trial investigating new treatments to help stroke survivors overcome fatigue and return to everyday activities.
