                                                              There is a stroke protocol, which our 24 hour emergency team will
                                                              activate as soon as a suspected patient is brought into the Emergency
                                                              Department (ER).

                                                              physiotherapists. These teams work in unison to provide either a single
                                                              team management or a combination  of  therapies, all tailored to suit the
                                                              needs of the diagnosis.
                                 Time To Act
                                                              The teams are supported by neuro-imaging equipment - including dual

                                                              This added information is very useful to effectively plan the management
                                                              of stroke. This is further enhanced with a neuro vascular interventional
                                                              radiology (VIR) system that is dedicated to the management of the blood

                                                              The VIR enables us to provide minimally invasive treatment, under the
