Stroke

A suspected stroke is a medical emergency. Call 112 or the hospital emergency desk now.

Do not wait for an appointment

Call 112 or the hospital emergency desk immediately for sudden facial weakness, arm weakness, speech difficulty, loss of balance or another suspected stroke symptom. Note when the symptoms began and follow the emergency dispatcher’s instructions.

If symptoms have stopped

Urgent assessment is still needed. Do not drive yourself or wait for a routine outpatient slot.

This page is general information, not medical advice. A qualified clinician must assess your individual situation.
