Veronica Regis is a Clinical Nurse Specialist from New Zealand. She is deeply passionate about highlighting the significant role of nurses in improving stroke care and patients’ experience through collective action. Regis believes that leadership is not necessarily an innate quality, rather, it is a combination of hardwork and conviction that needs to be developed and nurtured. As a Clinical Nurse Specialist, she has helped streamlined acute stroke management pathways in her local hospital. This includes ensuring 24/7 access to thrombolysis (by using telehealth), providing training and education to nurses and junior doctors, and empowering nurses to actively participate in swallow screening of stroke patients.
Regis continues to contribute to local and national efforts to advocate for stroke awareness in the community by participating in annual FAST (Face, Arm, Speech, Time) Campaign and Blood Pressure Check. Born in a small city in the Philippines, Veronica Regis hopes that young women across the globe are given the opportunity to participate in conversations that encourage ideas, nourish growth and unlock potentials. She holds a Master’s Degree in Nursing and has eight years of clinical experience in older persons’ health and stroke management.
