Prof Mark Barber
Mark Barber is a stroke physician in Lanarkshire, where he has worked since 2006. He has worked on a stroke thrombolysis rota since 2007, doing most assessments over a telemedicine network. He would personally usually thrombolyse around 30 patients per year.
Mark’s hyperacute work has been in a ‘District General’ setting with currently no access to advanced imaging and no access to a thrombectomy centre. So, probably working at a similar level of experience to many people in Scotland who are accessing this training resource.
