Stroke services in Scotland

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Stroke services are developing rapidly in Scotland. Most of the 33 hospitals which admit stroke patients from the community have a stroke unit and access to brain imaging. However, acute stroke units are few and many of the 10,000 patients each year still do not access a stroke unit bed. A recently introduced National Strategy aims to ensure that all patients have access to early stroke unit care, brain imaging and appropriate specialist rehabilitation and secondary prevention. A national system to monitor the progress of the strategy is being developed.
