title: Stroke.
abstract: Clearly, progress is being made in the investigation and evaluation of therapies for stroke, and the last two decades have seen stroke medicine come of age. The challenge now is to maintain this momentum with government support, transfer research findings into routine clinical practice and increase public awareness. This conference should have inspired its audience to do so, with clear evidence and good humour.
