World Stroke Day takes place tomorrow.
A first aid service worker in the midlands is warning the public about the signs to recognise when it comes to strokes.
Ken Guilfoyle is the founder of Midlands First Aid, which provides aid training for first time parents, schools, sports clubs and providing people with the skills and knowledge to handle emergencies.
This comes as World Stroke Day takes place tomorrow which raises awareness of stroke symptoms and the importance of reacting quickly.
Mr Guilfoyle says there is an acronym to remember when recognising a stroke:
