Adam Sherwin underwent a mechanical thrombectomy at the hospital in March - and was back home less than 72 hours after suffering the stroke.

Now the car salesman, of Trentham, has hailed the University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust's (UHNM) seven-day service.

He said: "I'd had a normal Friday evening at home and went to bed around midnight. At about 2am my wife woke to find me fidgeting and unable to move my left side.

"I couldn't get myself off the floor and that's when she realised I was having a stroke. The care I received at UHNM was fantastic from the moment I arrived. I remember it being cold outside the Royal Stoke and then seeing a face just before the procedure, and by 11am on the Saturday I was already back on the ward.
