Stroke and transient ischaemic attack in over 16s: diagnosis and initial management

NICE has informed us that the draft guideline for stroke and transient ischaemic attack in over 16s and its supporting evidence are now out for consultation.  The Royal College of nursing has been invited to comment on the provisional recommendations.

NICE would like to hear views on the following:

-Which areas will have the biggest impact on practice and be challenging to implement? Please say for whom and why.
-Would implementation of any of the draft recommendations have significant cost implications?
-What would help users overcome any challenges? (For example, existing practical resources or national initiatives, or examples of good practice.)
