Overview
Stroke
We see people who have suffered a stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA).
If you have an acute stroke when you come to our emergency department or are in hospital, you'll receive care in a hyper acute stroke unit (HASU), like the unit at King's College Hospital. We'll transfer you back to Guy's and St Thomas' around 48 to 72 hours after admission to a HASU.
We work with colleagues across London so that you can receive the rest of your care close to home.
Wards
We care for people at our rehabilitation stroke unit on Mark ward.

Research and clinical trials
Research is vital to improving the care that you receive when you're unwell.
You can help improve healthcare by taking part in research studies at our Trust. During your appointment, ask your healthcare professional about research. They'll be happy to tell you about research studies you could be eligible to join.
You can also email [email protected] for more information.
