THE stroke care offered by Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust is the best in West Yorkshire – and among the best in the country says a new report.
The Royal College of Physicians’ report revealed that the trust achieved the highest rating locally in a range of key areas of care.
These included how long a patient spent on a specialised stroke care unit, how quickly they were initially admitted to that unit and how many were admitted to the unit within four hours.
The Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust is in the top 25% nationally.
Dr Irfan Shakir, lead officer for stroke care, said: “These results show the best care for patients with stroke symptoms is available at this Trust.
“Our team is a highly dedicated, professional and a caring team with the focus of getting the best care – and so the best results – for our patients.
“We hope many of our patients can leave us and go on to live happy and healthy lives after the care they received here.”
