Stroke Medicine
Our Stroke Medicine Service is based both at the Queen's Campus and City Hospital Campus and delivers specialised care to adults of all ages.
Care ranges from emergency assessment and treatments (including clot-busting thrombolysis therapy and clot retrieval) in the first few hours after stroke to rehabilitation (physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy). These help the stroke survivor to return home and regain independence after a stroke.
The stroke service also treats patients with suspected minor strokes and Transient Ischaemic Attacks (TIAs) in a daily assessment unit in an attempt to prevent further larger strokes occurring.
The Hyper Acute Stroke Unit (C4), Acute Stroke Unit (C5) and TIA Assessment Unit are based at the QMC campus. Ongoing stroke rehabilitation (Daybrook Ward) is based at St Francis Hospital within the City Hospital Campus

Despite our earlier pleas for anyone feeling unwell or with symptoms of a cough or temperature to stay away, we have unfortunately had people with symptoms visiting our hospitals. This decision is to help protect our patients and staff.
Please think of other ways you can stay in touch with your relative/ friend, such as video calls.
We apologise for any distress this will cause and would appreciate your co-operation at this challenging time.
