Medical stroke management
Medical assessment
When you arrive at the Stroke Clinic, you’ll have a thorough medical assessment by the Resident Medical Officer and the Consultant-in-charge, where any medical issues will be addressed and treated.
First and foremost, we’ll want to uncover the root cause of the stroke and prevent it from ever happening again, so you’ll have access to an extensive range of tests and scans, including:
CT or MRI of your brain and blood vessels
Ultrasound of your neck arteries
Electrocardiogram
Echocardiogram
Heart rhythm monitor
Blood pressure monitor
Blood tests
Overnight sleep study (to diagnose sleep apnea)
Respiratory function test
You’ll also have a daily medical assessment with your Consultant, and any emergency will be urgently assessed and treated by the Resident Medical Office who is on call 24/7. If needed, we have a High Dependency Unit, where we can treat unstable medical conditions, and Consultants from other specialties are available to provide urgent advice.
As strokes can affect such a large variety of functions, our Stroke Team can bring a Consultant from any discipline into your care package if needed, including Ophthalmologists (eye), Urologists (kidneys and urinary function) and Cardiologists (heart) to name just a few.
After you’ve been discharged, we’ll arrange follow-up medical reviews with you where we can check-in and see how you’re progressing.
If you’d like more information, or want to book an appointment, call the Stroke Clinic team on 020 7806 4075 or email [email protected].
We’d be more than happy to give you a tour of our facilities before you make any decisions.

If you have any questions relating to treatment options or pricing information, get in touch with us by filling out one of our contact boxes or giving us a call on 020 7806 4075.
Our Appointments Team have a dedicated and caring approach to finding you the earliest appointment possible with the best specialist.
If you are self-paying you don’t need a referral from your GP for a consultation. You can simply refer yourself* and book an appointment.
If you have health insurance (e.g. Bupa, Axa Health, Aviva), you will need to contact your insurer to get authorisation before any treatment, and in most cases you will also require a referral letter from your GP.
If you are not registered with a GP, we have an in-house private GP practice you can use. Alternatively, we can suggest the most appropriate course of action for you to take, given your location and individual circumstances.
*Please note – for investigations such as X-rays and MRIs, a referral will be required. However, we may be able to arrange this for you through our on-site private GP.
