Network & education Ongoing

Stroke networks & education.

Helping stroke units reach certification and connect across borders — and sharing open educational material on the decisions that define hyperacute stroke care.

This page summarises ongoing network and education activity. Specific resources and links will be added here over time.

Two sides of the same goal

Better stroke care spreads through systems and through people — networks raise the floor; education raises the ceiling.

Outcomes in stroke depend on the whole pathway and on the clinicians making fast decisions inside it. EUROSTROKES works on both: helping units build toward certified-standard care and connect into cross-border pathways, and producing clear educational material on hyperacute decision-making so the knowledge does not stay locked in a few centres.

Assess the current network · Model the real pathway · Optimize the changes that matter.

What this involves

Certification support

Practical guidance for units working toward ESO standards — informed directly by the certification criteria themselves.

Cross-border pathways

Helping align referral and treatment pathways so a patient meets the same standard of care across systems and borders.

Education for physicians

Open material on hyperacute stroke decision-making — selection, timing, and the reasoning behind the call.

Speaking & teaching

Talks and teaching on acute stroke, certification, and the role of AI in the stroke pathway.

How it connects

This work sits naturally alongside the rest of EUROSTROKES: the standards come from ESO's stroke-unit certification programme, the reasoning content draws on Livetextbook, and the whole point is to move good decisions closer to every bedside.

What this needs now Stage: one region live (Attica, 19 centres, draft data)

The map works for one region. What breaks when we map yours?
