When it comes to stroke, every second truly counts. The faster a patient receives treatment, the greater their chances of survival and recovery. This is where a Stroke ICU plays a vital role. Unlike general intensive care, a dedicated Stroke ICU is designed to provide highly specialised care for patients who have suffered either an ischaemic or haemorrhagic stroke. At NHS Neurocare (a unit of NHS Hospital), patients benefit from a special and separate Stroke ICU, led by renowned stroke specialist Dr Sandeep Goel (Senior Neurologist). With 25+ years of experience in DM Neurology, Dr Goel and his team provide world-class, evidence-based stroke management that has saved countless lives.
Why a Stroke ICU is Different
A stroke is a sudden interruption of blood supply to the brain, and its effects can be devastating. Unlike other medical emergencies, stroke demands immediate and precise intervention. A special and separate Stroke ICU is equipped with advanced monitoring systems, ventilators, and neuroimaging facilities, all tailored to the unique needs of stroke patients.
At NHS Neurocare in Jalandhar, our Stroke ICU is staffed with fully trained ICU staff who are skilled in handling the complexities of stroke care. This ensures that patients are not only stabilised quickly but also receive ongoing support to minimise brain damage and prevent further complications.
The Role of Expert Leadership
The difference between survival and long-term disability often lies in the expertise of the treating team. At NHS Hospital’s Centre of Excellence in Neurology, stroke patients are under the direct supervision of Dr Sandeep Goel (Senior Neurologist), a name trusted by families across the region. With his 25+ years of DM Neurology experience, Dr Goel has treated thousands of stroke cases, bringing both knowledge and compassion to every patient.
His leadership ensures that international protocols are followed, cutting-edge technology is used effectively, and patients receive holistic care, from emergency intervention to rehabilitation.
Advanced Technology for Better Outcomes
In modern stroke care, technology plays an equally important role alongside expertise. At NHS Neurocare, our Stroke ICU is supported by advanced imaging systems and interventional facilities, enabling swift diagnosis and precise treatment. Whether it is clot-dissolving medication for ischaemic stroke or surgical procedures for haemorrhagic stroke, timely decisions are made based on clear and accurate data.
The integration of a Stroke ICU with our Neuro Jalandhar facilities ensures that no time is wasted, and every patient has access to cutting-edge neurological treatment the moment they arrive.
The Human Touch: Specialised ICU Staff
Technology and infrastructure are only part of the story. The compassionate, highly skilled professionals working in our Stroke ICU are equally critical. The fully trained ICU staff at NHS Neurocare are experienced in stroke-specific protocols, from airway management to neurological monitoring. They provide continuous care, support families, and help prepare patients for the next stage of recovery.
This human-centred approach means that patients are never alone in their journey. Families find comfort in knowing their loved ones are being looked after by a dedicated team who understand both the urgency and the sensitivity of stroke care.
From Emergency to Recovery
Treatment in a Stroke ICU is not just about saving a life in the critical hours following a stroke—it is also about setting the stage for recovery. At NHS Neurocare, rehabilitation begins right at the ICU level, with early mobilisation, physiotherapy, and speech therapy introduced as soon as the patient is stable. This proactive approach increases the chances of regaining independence and improving quality of life.
By combining acute care with early rehabilitation, the Stroke ICU bridges the gap between crisis management and long-term recovery, ensuring patients receive comprehensive support at every stage.
