Stroke Ward Care

An interactive 8-step ward pathway for acute ischaemic stroke, monitoring, secondary prevention, VTE, rehab and discharge, aligned to RCP, NICE and AHA/ASA guidance.

IMPORTANT Stroke Ward Care is an educational and training reference for qualified healthcare professionals. It is not a medical device and is not a substitute for clinical judgement, local protocols, senior review or formal assessment of an individual patient. Always confirm drug doses and management decisions against current authoritative sources and local guidelines before acting. No patient data is collected or stored.
