YORK Hospital is celebrating after its stroke care service won recognition as a centre of excellence from the Strategic Health Authority for Yorkshire and The Humber.

The award comes after the hospital invested heavily in more nurses, therapists and doctors. It now provides specialist stroke care 24 hours a day, seven days a week with an experienced senior nurse on duty day and night and a specialist stroke consultant visiting the ward seven days a week.

It also holds a minor stroke clinic seven days a week and a round-the-clock thrombolysis service offering clot busting treatment, as well as providing a specialist stroke rehabilitation unit.

I am delighted to hear this news. I am one of the lucky ones who received this life saving treatment in YDH. I shall be eternally grateful to Dr. Coyle and his team.

I am also delighted to hear this news. My husband has been admitted twice in the last six weeks to the stoke ward and we cant complain of the way the nursers and doctors looked after him. They deserve to win this award.
