Australia’s first Stroke Ambulance saves lives

What a great idea and I'm sure it will save lives.

A very inventive team, thank you to the Professionals for their knowledge and hard work to get this crew on the road and saving lives!  We love you :-)

Hi Rob and Sue,

The Mobile Stroke Unit project will generate valuable new data to help guide the future direction of acute stroke treatment.

The pilot will offer the opportunity to study the different patient outcomes that emerge between standard ambulance hospital admissions and Stroke Ambulance treatment.

Also learning how treatment times can affect life after stroke, such as how faster treatment might dramatically improve long-term patient outcomes.

Plus testing new treatments for both major types of stroke – blocked blood vessel and bleeding – that are likely to be more effective when delivered early and integrating the latest stroke telemedicine technology into ambulance response. 

In a word - awesome!
