In order to improve the speed and access to specialist stroke teams for patients with acute stroke, the Lister Hospital has requested that all suspected stroke patients are pre-alerted prior to arrival via the emergency department pre-alert number:
01438 357745
Please be sure to make clear during the pre-alert call if the patient is within the thrombolysis time frame (<4.5 hours from onset).
