Hospital Stroke Care

The goal of this work stream is to ensure that all individuals within the area of the Network who have experienced a stroke or TIA are provided with the appropriate assessment and subsequent hospital treatment and care, following the acute stroke phase and in accordance with the National Stroke Strategy.

In light of this, the Network aims to:

• Promote efficient and appropriate referral for acute stroke care and rehabilitation following the initial acute stroke assessment once the patient has been repatriated from the CSC and PSC

• Develop an effective model for IHT stroke and TIA transfers from CSC and PSC to DSC

• Engage hospital teams to improve services for stroke and TIA patients

• Improve access to diagnostics across Greater Manchester and Cheshire for stroke and TIA patients

• Increase the proportion of stroke patients spending all their time in hospital on a stroke unit across the conurbation

• Demonstrate improved outcomes in relation to long term functional outcomes for stroke patients on discharge

• Increase patient and carer involvement with local stroke service improvements

• Engage staff to ensure we have a competent workforce across the pathway for stroke

The measurements for success will be:

• Reduction in stroke mortality and morbidity and long term functional disability

• Improved equity and access to stroke units across the Network

• Increase in the number of stroke patients spending time on a stroke unit

• Increase in the number of stroke patients being discharged to their home address, as opposed to placements in nursing/residential care

• Numbers of healthcare professionals attending Network courses and training sessions
