If worried about stroke symptoms, please call for an ambulance via the Health Care Professional (HCP) number 020 3162 7525 and request an ambulance. You should not give aspirin.

If the patient meets certain criteria, they will be conveyed to the nearest Hyper-Acute Stroke Unit (HASU). For most of NCL, this will be UCLH HASU.
