Stroke services at Medical Associates provide the best possible clinical care for all phases of the stroke pathway. Our Acute Stroke and Brain Injury Unit, and our specialist stroke services include clinics for transient ischaemic attack (TIA), complex vascular disease, haemorrhage secondary to vascular malformation, traumatic brain injury and Moyamoya. We run stroke outpatient clinics at both our St. Joseph and Chaguanas facilities, where our teams work very closely with vascular surgeons, interventional neuro-radiologists, neurosurgery and neuro-intensivists.

This includes:

• Rapid assessment – patients with suspected stroke will be assessed by a specialist and have access to an immediate brain scan, when clinically indicated or within 24 hours if not
• Access to early treatment using clot-busting drugs 
• 24/7 monitoring and physiological intervention
• Access to a multi-disciplinary specialist team that supports the Unit 24/7.
