We have a 17-bed Acute Stroke Unit (ASU) as part of healthcare for London’s redesign of the specialist stroke services across London. The Acute Stroke Unit (ASU) is the next step of care for stroke patients who come to the Emergency Stroke Unit (ESU) and Hyper-acute Stroke Unit (HASU) at UCLH for patients who live locally to our hospitals.
This unit aims to maximise functional recovery after a stroke by providing organised acute inpatient treatment, care and rehabilitation followed by structured referral and follow-up
Inpatient activity is complemented by a nurse specialist and a follow-up outpatient service for recently discharged inpatients. This service includes a general stroke clinic and TIA clinic. The service has close clinical links with the Hyper-acute Stroke Unit at NHNN.
