Thames Valley Clinical Senate December 2019
- Only hospitals with a neuroscience centre can meet the requirements for a thrombectomy service and so the hospitals delivering the service will need to cover a wide geographical catchment.
- The Clinical Senate reviewed the requirements for safe and effective delivery of a thrombectomy service across a wider geography and looked ahead to the potential delivery of a 24/7 service and the implications for the service in the interim. This report aims to understand the issues from the different perspectives of the local trusts, the hyper-acute stroke unit and the patients and their families.
