Brenda receives Stroke Foundation president's award

Ms Brenda Booth of Woy Woy for taking out the Stroke Foundation's President's Achievement Award at this year's National Stroke Awards in Melbourne earlier this month.

This award is "given to exceptional individuals who have made a significant contribution to Stroke Foundation" and is selected by Stroke Foundation president Professor Linda Kristjanson.

"Brenda has worked in the health and disability sector on the Central Coast for more than 25 years," the award read.

"She has played key roles for the Stroke Foundation, lending her experience to the Consumer Council, the Research Advisory Committee, and the Living Stroke Guidelines.

"Locally, Brenda is the President of the Working Aged Stroke Group on the Central Coast.

"Using her experience and professional background as a registered nurse, and a case manager with the NSW Disability Service, Brenda has been involved in many advocacy campaigns at local, state and national levels.

"Most recently, Brenda has provided valuable insight to the development of the Australian Stroke Coalition Stroke Unit Certification Project which encourages hospitals to consistently meet a set of national criteria to deliver the best possible stroke care to patients."

Acknowledging the award, Member for Robertson Dr Gordon Reid said: "Brenda is a champion for stroke awareness and advocacy.

"This award acknowledges her dedication to the Stroke Foundation over the decades.

"Following her own stroke at the age of 41, Brenda has been passionate about improving stroke care in Australia."
