Did you know?
- Approximately 20% of patients with a completed stroke have previously had a TIA, often only a few days before the stroke
- Stroke risk following a TIA is greatest within the first 7-14 days
- Early initiation of treatment for TIAs can reduce the number of these patients going on to have a stroke by 80%
How GPs can make a bigger difference – the referral pathway:
GPs can help reduce the number of TIA patients going on to have a stroke by following the TIA referral pathway to ensure that patients receive timely referral and treatment. All the information required when referring TIA patients can be accessed on the link below. It includes the referral flow chart, appointment cards, information for your reception and for patients.
