Community stroke services and rehabilitation teams are centralised at Redcar Primary Care Hospital.
The unit has dedicated beds, specialist staff, excellent facilities and the added support of the stroke early supported discharge team.
The new specialist stroke unit brings together community inpatient stroke beds with specially trained nurses and rehabilitation services such as physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech and language therapy.
This enables nursing staff and therapists to work closely together and gives patients access to a wide range of experts on one site.
