Key Points

The aim is to evaluate the long-term impact of the Acute Stroke Simulation Course on clinical practice in managing acute stroke.
Candidates from the ASSC completed follow-up questionnaires at 3 and 6 months post-course.
Questionnaires included quantitative and qualitative data on changes in clinical practice and patient care impact.
Thematic analysis was performed on free-text responses to identify recurring themes.
At 3 months, 32 candidates reported sustained benefits; 27 at 6 months.
Key themes identified include sustained confidence in acute stroke management, enhanced communication in teams, and better recognition of stroke mimics.
Respondents indicated the course should be mandatory for professionals involved in acute stroke care.
