Education of nursing staff for telestroke
implementation
Education of the nursing staff requires time and planning.
It prepares the nursing staff at the bedside to
provide excellence in stroke care.
Roles and responsibilities were an important part of
education. Staff in the ED reception area were educated
on signs and symptoms of stroke and the need for rapid
notification on the arrival of a potential stroke patient.
The EMS staff were also educated regarding the new
telestroke programme and the importance of rapid access
and communication on the arrival of a potential
stroke patient.
