National Clinical Guidelines for Stroke.

National Clinical Guidelines for Stroke. Intercollegiate Working Party for Stroke, Royal College of Physicians. (Pp 150; £15.95.) Lavenham Press, 2000. ISBN 1-86016-120-0.\***| Stroke is a common problem, being the third cause of mortality in the UK and the leading cause of adult disability with a resultant significant cost burden to the NHS and social services. The guidelines highlight the wide national variation in the implementation of evidence based practice as seen in the Stroke Association's National Survey and the Royal College of Physicians …
