Easter Weekend Arrangements for TIA Clinic
Due to the upcoming bank holiday weekend all TIA referrals from Friday, March 29th 12pm – Tuesday, April 2nd 9am need to be treated as ‘weekend TIA referrals’ as there is no OPD clinic on Monday, April 1st.
- As usual all TIA patients with ‘high risk’ clinical features should be referred for urgent admission, as should all suspected TIA patients with an ABCD2 Score of ≥ 4
- ‘Lower risk’ TIA patients seen by their GP, or the Emergency Department staff from:
Friday, March 29th 12pm – Tuesday April 2nd 9am patients who have an ABCD2 Score of 0-3 will also need to be assessed and possibly admitted under the medical team on call if a TIA is confirmed (a low threshold for referral to the medical team is recommended). The medical team staff will subsequently refer patients to the Neurology/Stroke Service, as appropriate.
