About this title

About the Author:

Professor Lindley developed his interest in stroke medicine whilst working as a registrar in Geriatric Medicine in Newcastle upon Tyne. He then spent 3 years working with the Edinburgh Stroke Group and was also the research fellow for the first International Stroke Trial. In 2003 he was appointed to establish a new academic unit for Geriatric Medicine in Sydney, Australia where he continues his research into stroke and Geriatric Medicine.

Review:

...an interesting addition to the available material for patient information...very comprehensive...useful to anyone wanting to understand a long-term condition - and that would include medical staff. Pulse GP Magazine This isn't a 'soft' book on stroke that holds the hand of the reader from diagnosis to treatment - it's dry, full of medical studies and hits you with the facts. But don't let this put you off. Full of tips on how to recognise stroke and the latest in research into therapies, it's well worth persevering with. Ros Holness in The Daily Mail This engaging little book is highly readable and packed with up-to-date information...it covers clrealy, concisely and quite comprehensively the aspects of risk factor management, causes and pathology of stroke,... and answers many questions that would benefit the patients themselves. ...It would be and invaluable aid to junior doctors working on a stroke unit, and it clearly deserves a space on the bookshelf. Diane Ames, Age and Ageing
