• Describe the current stroke pathway within GHT, including key timelines and decision points.
• Explain when and how to refer patients with suspected stroke appropriately, in line with the GHT pathway.
• Apply the stroke referral pathway to clinical case scenarios, demonstrating how newer acute treatments (e.g. thrombectomy, extended thrombolysis windows) have changed stroke care.
• Outline evidence-based secondary prevention strategies following stroke, including risk factor modification and pharmacological management.
• Manage common stroke sequelae, incorporating recommended follow up and multidisciplinary approaches.
• Recognise and manage cerebral haemorrhages, including updates in the assessment and treatment of intracerebral haemorrhage.
• Explain the role and implications of Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy in haemorrhagic stroke and ongoing management.
• Identify and follow TIA pathways, applying risk stratification and management principles to case-based scenarios.
