Background Aim: To commence Stroke education in a specific Dublin Hospital to improve the assessment of management of Stroke patients. Methods Seven 1 day study days were organised in 2018. These study days were multidisciplinary team (MDT) led with theory in the morning session delivered by the Stroke Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) followed by MDT led workshops in the afternoon. Stroke education was delivered to Emergency Department (ED) doctors on each rotation. Whiteboard education sessions were carried out for nurses on Medicine for the Elderly Ward/Stroke Unit. Results A total of 103 health professionals were trained over the 7 study days. Stroke Study Day attendances consisted of 69 RGN/CNMs 26 student nurses (21 intern nurses who are now staff nurses working in the hospital), 2 Allied Health Professionals, 1 CNS and 5 from Practice development. 32 ED doctors were trained over 3 separate induction days. Weekly scenario based sessions with nurses on the Stroke Ward. Conclusion Staff applying the learned knowledge and competencies to Stroke patients has significantly improved following the commencement of the education. 100% of staff who attended the Stroke study day stated that the training improved their knowledge and skills. 100% of staff would recommend the Stroke Study Day to other colleagues. We aim to continue the study days and whiteboard sessions with health professionals in all wards in 2019.
