Stroke

We are a 44 bedded stroke unit, consisting of hyper-acute, acute and stroke rehabilitation. We offer 24/7 stroke care, including thrombolysis treatment and referral to our tertiary centre at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital for thrombectomy services or neuro-surgical intervention.

Consultant ward rounds are conducted daily on the hyper-acute stroke unit.

We provide access to TIA clinics every day.

How to access the service

Referrals are made to the stroke nurse from the ambulance service, emergency department, hospital wards and GP’s.

The stroke nurse will complete the initial assessment and if necessary, arrange further imaging/admission/referral to clinic.

TIA clinics are held at Russell’s Hall Hospital.
