Abstract

In April 2006, the National Pre-hospital Guidelines Group produced suspected stroke and transient ischaemic attack guidelines to complement the National clinical guidelines for stroke. These concise guidelines contain recommendations from the group and the Intercollegiate Working Party for Stroke. This article serves as an introduction to the guidelines for healthcare staff working in emergency care.
