Acute Stroke Unit
The Stroke Unit is committed to the provision of high quality specialist stroke care after a stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA). The Stroke unit can be found on the East wing of the ground floor.
On admission to the Stroke Unit, patients may be admitted to our Hyper Acute bay depending on their clinical need for specialist monitoring and treatment. Patients will then be stepped down into an appropriate single sex bay for the remainder of their inpatient stay.
Stroke care is delivered on the unit by a closely working multi-disciplinary team who aim to provide skilled and compassionate treatment. We involve patients and their relatives in care decisions as much as possible as we recognise this can be emotional and challenging time.
There are three stroke consultants on the unit and you may be seen by more than one during your stay. The medical team are happy to discuss your/ relatives care and update you with the medical plan. Many of our patients will have a care review meeting during their stay so professionals involved with patients can feedback progress and plans.
Our visiting hours are 11am – 8pm.
We do try and have a protected meal time for patients between 12-1pm and 5-6pm with restricted visiting.
If you cannot visit during visiting times please speak to the nurse in charge and we will aim to accommodate you.
If you are not happy with the care we are providing please speak to the nurse in charge so we can address your concerns and improve your experience. Your feedback is important to us to improve the experience of others.
You can contact the Stroke Unit by telephone on 0300 019 4001, 0300 019 4002, 0300 019 4006.
