It is a pleasure to welcome you to the 27th annual meeting of the Swiss Stroke Society. The Swiss Stroke Society Meeting 2025 will give an update of secondary prevention in atherosclerosis and also focus on new scientific developments (and also some controversies) in acute treatment of stroke patients. To round the meeting off, we plan a neurorehabilitation session, discussing the prognosis of young stroke patients and a case-based interprofessional discussion about difficult ethical situations in stroke care. The satellite symposium about treatment of diabetes and noac-associated intracerebral hemorrhages will further enrich the programm. The Interprofessional Stroke Symposium for Nursing and Therapy comes up with a truly multiprofessional approach with a special emphasis on rehabilitation, which should appeal to this broad audience involved in the treatment of stroke patients.
