Members and supporters of the ESTEEM Research Group (me 😉) have been busy this weekend learning how to deliver the Ronnie Gardiner Method.

A movement to music program that activates the brain - concentration, memory, attention and importantly seeks to promote brain plasticity.

Watch this space for opportunities to come and try it in the next few months. Looking forward to November when we finish our training. Thanks to Hunter Medical Research Institute (HMRI) for a great venue!

Thanks to all those that came in to try it out 👏🥁🎵

We’ve had a very busy Stroke Week in 2026! The ESTEEM Research team, along with Community Stroke Team and JHH Stroke Service have been at John Hunter Hospital and Charlestown Square raising awareness of stroke signs and symptoms.

Do you know the risk factors for stroke? This week we have given out 150 FAST magnets and measured ~ 60 people’s blood pressure - high blood pressure is one of the big risk factors for stroke.

Others in our stroke community have been spreading the word too - the Brainwaves Choir singing at JHH on Tuesday and the YarniYarning up After Stroke up in Tamworth at the launch of the By The Mob for the Mob stroke awareness video.
