This was the second World Stroke Academy (WSA) webinar that WGSP had been asked to host. The first (Feb 2022) focussed on setting up the partnership and establishing a multidisciplinary (MDT) stroke unit at KBTH. Members from across the KBTH MDT told their stories of how they have seen care and outcomes for stroke patients improve because of WGSP work.
The second webinar in July 2023 was an overview of the core skills training programme, how it has been implemented and the positive impact that it has had for both stroke patients and staff members working on the stroke unit at KBTH. Members of the EFSTH MDT told of their experiences of being at the start of the training and implementation process. Both teams explained the challenges and successes that they have encountered.
Both webinars were very well attended by people from all over the world, raising the profile of MDT stroke unit care and signposting others to resources to support them in developing their own teams. WGSP hopes to host more WSA training events in the future.
