About our services
As well as running a 26-bedded inpatient Acute Stroke Unit (with 4 hyperacute beds for new admissions including those patients thrombolysed for acute stroke), we run a daily TIA clinic at the RUH.
We now operate a 7-day service for TIA, though high-risk patients only are seen at the weekend and on bank holidays. Please refer using the guidance above.
