The Stroke Service provides 24 hour access to stroke care. This includes 24 hours access to clot busting treatment, Transient Ischaemic Attack (mini stroke) urgent outpatient clinics and post stroke care on the Stroke Unit.
Our specialist team of nurses, doctors, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and speech and language therapists are all dedicated to improve the outcomes for people after stroke.
We also work together with the Accident and Emergency Team, Ambulance Service and X-ray to achieve the targets set nationally so that people experiencing a stroke have the best possible care.
We have strong links with other organisations such as the Stroke Association to provide support following a stroke.
We also refer to the Early Supported Discharge Team provided by East Coast Community Healthcare (ECCH) which provides ongoing rehabilitation in the community and aims to reduce the length of time people remain on the acute stroke unit.
