Clinical guide for the management of stroke patients during the coronavirus pandemic, RCP (Updated 16th April 2020 with updates highlighted in yellow)

Therefore some services may need to consider how they extend their roles to release clinicians to support the general emergency medical take and inpatient bed base. We should seek the best local solutions to continue the proper management while developing and protecting resources for the response to coronavirus.
