A former stroke ward worker has been giving talks to about the warning signs of strokes in the hope it could save somebody's life.
Raj Nair from Heaton, now a teacher, has a deep understanding of the challenges faced by stroke survivors and those that care for them and is now volunteering with Healthwatch Newcastle. He has also been working with organisations such as the Stroke Association.
Raj has spoken about his passion for healthcare, and why this spurred him on to become a Healthwatch Newcastle volunteer.
