119should patients presenting with seizure be assessed as a thrombolysis call in hyper-acute stroke services?

Topic: UCLH is a London hyper-acute stroke unit that receives patients within a 30 minute ambulance journey with suspected stroke. Patients with seizure may have symptoms mimicking acute stroke. During stroke training, I assessed many patients with seizures, some whom required ITU care. It was challenging to provide high quality, safe care whilst assessing multiple referrals and delivering appropriate thrombolysis.
