Joined-up working required for effective stroke rehab services
Stroke is a major health problem in the UK. Each year an estimated 150,000 people have a stroke - equivalent to one person every five minutes.

Challenges of implementation of the RCPCH paediatric stroke guidelines (acute management component) and how they can be overcome
In August 2017, the Royal College of Paediatric and Child Health (RCPCH) published guidelines for the management of stroke in childhood between 1 month and 18 years of age (see hyperlink). This comprehensive 169-page publication is a National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE)-accredited multiprofessional evidence-based guideline that provides recommendations for the management of stroke in children and young people.

Correspondence The future of stroke therapy must not be mired by past arguments
Stroke is the leading cause of disability and the fifth leading cause of death in the UK, costing the UK economy more than £7 billion per year.1 At present, the only therapeutic approved by the UK National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) for the treatment of ischaemic stroke is thrombolysis using recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (rtPA). However, rtPA is only effective in patients who present within 4·5 h of stroke onset, with a number needed to treat for benefit of 3·6 before 90 min, rising to 5·9 between 3 h and 4·5 h.

89implementing evidence based practice: an audit of intermittent pneumatic compression (ipc) prescription in stroke at a district stroke centre
Introduction: The CLOTS III randomised control trail demonstrated that “IPC is an effective and inexpensive method of reducing the risk of DVT and improving survival in immobile stroke patients.”1. DVT risk is highest amongst stroke patients following immobilisation and NICE (CG 92) recommends application of IPC devices and documentation of a decision for or against them in this high risk patient group.
