Just checked:https://www.theguardian.com/society/2026/jan/05/nhs-shortage-stroke-specialists
πThe number of people in the UK who have a stroke is expected to rise from 100,000 to 151,000 a year by 2035 (Stroke Association)
π "Lack of consultants in UK health service means patients do not get drugs or surgery in time"
π"Key stroke treatments such as thrombolysis (using clot-busting drugs) and mechanical thrombectomy β surgery to remove a blood clot from the brain β were extremely time-critical. βWhen services are understaffed, patients miss treatment windows altogether or are treated too late, resulting in far worse neurological outcomes that could have been prevented β¦ Delays in specialist assessment or transfer to a thrombectomy centre can mean the difference between independent recovery and devastating, lifelong disability β or not surviving at all.β"
π"Patients being denied time-critical, life-changing treatment"
At genedrive, we are committed to driving change, empowering clinicians to make the best choices for their patients, and improving outcomes for these individuals. With stroke, "time is brain". Treatment is time-critical.
Avoiding a drug that isn't the best choice for you at this time and ensuring the most optimal therapy as quickly as possible is obvious. Implementing genedrive's CE-IVD, NICE-recommended rapid CYP2C19 genotyping solution enables this.
