Interventions

OTHER

Acute stroke care Intervention arm

Training and education of the site staff about the treatment protocol for the different components of the management plan will be provided on two occasions. The aim of these sessions will be to educate stroke champions and other site staff on the management protocols. Available training resources will be accessed (including online materials) and simulation training will be used. New skills such as dysphagia assessment will be emphasized based on existing knowledge and competencies. After training, staff will have another assessment (Post-test) in order to determine whether they have been adequately trained and are able to adhere to the essential acute stroke care management plan. A standardised Power Point presentation and accompanying handouts will be made available for further use in the ward. Refresher training will be provided monthly during the intervention.
