The Power of Nurses | The QASC Europe Stroke Care Project

The power of nurses took centre stage when Professor Sandy Middleton presented outcomes of the QASC Europe Project. This nurse-led intervention in stroke care conducted in 17 countries between 2017 and 2020 yielded extraordinary results, including an increase in implementation of the Fess protocol from 3,2% at baseline to 35% at the end of the study. As well as delivering a behavioral change effect of over 30%, it established the power of nurses to influence practice at a local level, changed perceptions of stroke nurses’ role in hospitals, and boosted efforts to establish national stroke nursing interest groups.

Professor Middleton’s address is followed by presentations on learnings from the project and the changing role of nurses by Susana Salselas from Portugal and Tereza Koláčná from Czech Republic. 

For a look at the tremendous impact nurses can have on stroke patients’ lives, watch this 90-minute video.

The Power of Simulations

Simulation training plays a key role in helping hospitals optimize the stroke pathway. In emergency stroke care, the positive impact of simulation training has been demonstrated by significant improvements in real-life patient management and outcomes as the result of, inter alia, time gained through better teamwork, and more confident physicians making better decisions, faster.

Two interactive sessions on simulation as a powerful tool for standardization were presented at ESOC 2021 by Anna Ramos from Spain, Bożena Adamkiewicz from Poland and Maria Assunção Matos from Portugal.

To learn how they use simulation to optimise the patient pathway in their hospitals, watch the video.

Recognising excellence

ESOC 2021 presented an opportunity to recognise hospitals that obtained ESO Angels Award status in 2021 Q1 and Q2, and to honour recipients of the Spirit of Excellence Award for outstanding contributions to stroke care.
