The Network covers all of Greater Manchester and Central & Eastern Cheshire.
Transient Ischaemic Attack (TIA) and Minor Stroke
The goal of this work stream is to facilitate the systematic redesign of minor stroke and TIA services for patients presenting post 24 hours in order to ensure equitable access to the best care for all eligible patients.
In light of this, the Network aims to:
Redesign TIA and minor stroke services within the Network for those patients presenting post 24 hours
Reduce long term functional disability, morbidity and mortality of stroke through redesigned services
Develop clear, agreed clinical/operational pathways
Assess the impact of redesigned system on existing TIA and minor stroke services
Ensure District Stroke Centres (DSC) are supported in the development and improvement of TIA and minor stroke services
The measurements for success will be:
% of carotid endarterectomy < 2 weeks
% of patients with an ABCD2>4 seen at DSC within 24 hours
% of patients with ABCD2<4 seen in TIA clinic within 1 week
Number of patients with TIA and minor stroke post 24 hours seen at DSC
Adherence to agreed clinical care bundle for TIA and minor stroke
