Our Operations

Stroke ward 85B1 is part of the neuroscience department and cares for patients with suspected or confirmed strokes. The care of stroke patients aims to limit damage after acute brain infarction or bleeding. The task of the healthcare staff here is to monitor and compensate for the patient's potential loss of functions as the patient recovers from their stroke.

On ward 85B1, nurses, nursing assistants, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, doctors, speech therapists, and dietitians work together. We work in teams where our different competencies contribute to providing the patient with good, safe, and comprehensive care. Several development and research projects are underway to improve care for our patients. The national guidelines, Riksstroke, form the basis for the ward's work. We take care of stroke patients directly via the emergency department according to the “Save the Brain” care chain.

In addition to the care we provide on a daily basis, we place great importance on the university hospital's other missions and are responsible, in good cooperation with Uppsala University, for teaching and supervising students during their clinical placements. Within our teaching mission, we have a clinical education ward (KUA) with us on ward 85B1. Uppsala University students from the medical, nursing, physiotherapy, and pharmacy programs come to KUA.
