  • I experienced a brain haemorrhage and survived
    Dec 18 2024

    In this episode, Director of The Natalie Kate Moss Trust, Fiona Moss, sits down with special guest Suzy Lane, who opens up about her experience of having a brain haemorrhage.

    Suzy is immensely courageous and honest in sharing her story with us about the day she experienced her initial ‘thunderclap headache’. She discusses the initial Dr’s call, the ambulance, the confusion about what had actually happened, the panic and the loneliness she felt in hospital and then the surgery that saved her life. She talks about her recovery, the challenges along the way but also the change in outlook she has experienced.

    Suzy was so immensely lucky to have survived her brain haemorrhage so well and we are so grateful to be able to be speaking with her about her experience on this episode and thankful to her for helping us raise the profile or brain haemorrhages so that we can reduce the number of potentially preventable brain haemorrhage from happening.

    Key Takeaways:

    - How she felt whilst having the brain haemorrhage - the signs.
    - What happened when she got to hospital - the treatment.
    - How she dealt with the recovery.
    - How her perspective has changed.

    Special Thanks:

    We are so lucky to have had Suzy with us on the podcast to discuss her experience and we are so immensely grateful to her for her openness and courage in sharing her story with us.

  • Finding Hope: Discovering Life-Saving Treatments After Brain Hemorrhage
    Dec 11 2024

    In this episode, Director of The Natalie Kate Moss Trust, Fiona Moss, sits down with Dr Katie Murray to discuss the groundbreaking research being done at The Geoffrey Jefferson Brain Research Centre, The University of Manchester, to improve the outcome of those who have experienced a Brain Haemorrhage.

    Katie Murray is a Research Fellow in the Division of Neuroscience at the University of Manchester. She became interested in neurovascular plasticity during her PhD with Prof Stuart Allan at the University of Manchester and continued to pursue this line of research during her postdoctoral training at Yale University, USA in the lab of Prof Jaime Grutzendler.

    In 2017, she was awarded an American Heart Association Fellowship to support her work on cerebrovascular remodelling in the intact mammalian brain. In 2023, thanks to funding by the Natalie Kate Moss Research Trust, Katie returned to the UK to establish her own independent research group. Her work aims to explore the impact of microvascular haemorrhage on the local cellular environment as visualised by advanced in vivo intravital microscopy techniques.

    With only 3 out of 5 people surviving at one month after a Brain Haemorrhage, resulting in 3 million deaths every year, this research is critical.

    By subscribing to the Prevent the Preventable podcast you will not only be first to hear each episode but you will be supporting this podcast to grow and the more we grow the more people we can reach and the more lives we save.

    Key Takeaways:

    • What impact has NKMT had on this research in the last 12 years
    • How do we overcome the sense of hopelessness that Brain Haemorrhages create
    • Katie’s discusses her research at The Geoffrey Jefferson Brain Research Centre
    • Lifesaving treatments that the team have developed that have been rolled out into the NHS
