On the tip of my tongue - talking about Aphasia · Reimagining Creativity After Stroke with Dr. Jess Johansson · 19 Jun 2026 podcast

is there an easy way of getting to GPs in your opinion?

So it's negative rather than positive in that sense.

I think the problem with GPs, and this is only from my own personal opinion, is that they haven't got the time to have those discussions with each patient.

Because I don't know how much time they give each patient, but it must be minutes.

I feel for them in some ways because they don't have the time.

I've actually asked my local practice if I could do a talk about aphasia.

And they said, what a great idea.

But, you know, a year on, nothing's happened.

Obviously, I'm not going to press it too much, but obviously they have other things on their mind.

One thing we talked about yesterday was that aphasia is not life-threatening.

and most strokes can be obviously but somebody with aphasia it's not life threatening so therefore it becomes a secondary problem rather than a major problem the major problem is the stroke the secondary problem is the aphasia and I think as well that will come down to how the whole of the

Yeah.

of stroke in general and it's interesting because when we did a stand at the hospital last week people seemed to be aware of the fast campaigns it's on the adverts it just shows that seeped into people's minds so we need another we're talking about aphasia specifically i know you talk about strokes but we want something similar going for aphasia which is like faster it's back to we need more groups around the country and awareness in general awareness what we're all trying to do

It's a bit old school, isn't it?

But maybe it has to be like that.

You can't have an online campaign for everything.

Obviously, that's one of the things that we'll bang on about.

We haven't lost our intelligence.

We've just lost a few words along the way.

So anything else you want to tell me about your work?
