description There is a willingness among UK interventional cardiologists to contribute to provision of a 24/7 mechanical thrombectomy (MT) service for all suitable stroke patients if given the appropriate training.

As demonstrated in other countries, interdisciplinary working can be the solution and an opportunity to achieve this is outlined in this article.
