It has previously been available only during weekday daytimes and will now be on offer seven days a week
A potentially lifesaving and mobility preserving procedure for Lancashire stroke sufferers is now available at the weekend for the first time.
Thrombectomy is suitable only for those strokes caused by a blood clot in a large artery in the brain. The expansion of its availability has come as welcome, if belated, news to Phil Woodford, who missed out on a thrombectomy after he suffered two strokes in 2016, in spite of the fact that he was actually an inpatient at the Royal Preston at the time of the second one.
“There are more people now who won’t be living with a lifelong disability [as a result of the thrombectomy expansion] – but there has got to be a greater determination to get this to a 24/7 service,” Phil added. He said that it is “shocking” for people in the same position he was seven years ago when they discover the true implications of being denied a thrombectomy.
