Exciting News: Hull Hospital to Trial Video Triage for Rapid Assessment of Stroke Patients
Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (HUTH) has announced plans to trial a new pre-hospital video triage scheme to enable quick assessment of stroke patients. The six-month trial, set to launch on 2 September 2024, will utilize video technology to connect stroke coordinators and service consultants with Yorkshire Ambulance Service crews. This will allow for visual checks and digital evaluation of patients with suspected strokes.
If successful, this innovative system could revolutionize the way stroke patients are treated, ensuring they receive appropriate care promptly. Stay tuned for updates on the outcome of this trial!
