Adults who have had a transient ischemic attack or a minor stroke can be referred to the clinics at Foothills Medical Centre and South Health Campus via central access at 403.944.1447 or via fax at 403.476.9635.
The updated guidelines are also linked on the Specialist Link neurology access pathway.
Please note that episodes of pre-syncope, loss of consciousness and memory loss, and recurrent episodes of dizziness are unlikely to be transient ischemic attacks.
Consider referring these patients to the emergency department, Urgent Neurology Clinic (phone 403.944.2372), or General Neurology Clinic as appropriate. Retinal vein occlusion and anterior ischemic optic neuropathy may be appropriate for ophthalmology referral.
The central access referral service provides a single point of entry for adults who require early assessment, treatment, and education.
The guidelines provide detailed criteria for both urgent and routine referrals, as well as information about conditions not appropriate for referral.
