More Patients Getting Into Stroke Units But 21st Century Care Still Lacking...
The results of the 2006 National Sentinel Audit for Stroke show that patients are spending more of their time on stroke units, but there are still unacceptable waits for brain scans and starting treatment. Results from Wales are still falling behind those from England, and are a major cause for concern. A separate release on the Welsh results is available.
The Audit, funded by the Healthcare Commission, was carried out on behalf of the Intercollegiate Stroke Group by the Royal College of Physicians’ Clinical Effectiveness and Evaluation Unit (CEEu), and covers 100% of eligible hospitals in England and Wales. As in 2005, results for each participating site are published on the RCP website:
