Doctorate Title: An investigation of the prehospital diagnosis and triage of ischaemic hyper-acute stroke to recommended Reperfusion therapies.
Doctorate Description: Stroke places a significant burden on society and is devastating for individuals and their families. This thesis investigates the prehospital factors that impact on acute stroke identification and treatment to ensure clinicians and stroke systems of care can respond efficiently and ensure best possible outcomes. It examines paramedic knowledge of stroke, looks at what role clinical and system factors have on diagnostic precision and explores how these impact on the delivery of acute stroke cares. The results of the thesis have been used to guide and inform improvements in prehospital stroke care in Queensland.
