Stroke services

Both Acute and Hyper acute inpatient services are provided at Royal Derby Hospital and Queen's Hospital Burton. The clinical teams work closely with the emergency departments to ensure all stroke and potential stroke patients are assessed by a stroke specialist as soon as they arrive in hospital. Each site has dedicated stroke wards.

Stroke Rehabilitation is offered on both sites, and Royal Derby Hospital has a dedicated ward (312) to offer inpatient rehabilitation for patients. 

Each site has designated Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) clinics to diagnose and assess patients.
