Randomized trial shows stroke simulations improve confidence in acute stroke management, suggesting ongoing education is vital.

To evaluate the effect of stroke simulation training on confidence levels in managing acute strokes.
Conducted five simulation courses based on common stroke presentations.
Collected data using anonymous questionnaires pre-training, immediately post-training, and at six months post-training in a Hyper Acute Stroke Unit.
Focused on both nursing and resident doctors' confidence in the stroke management pathway.
Confidence in managing acute stroke increased by over 50% post-simulation and was sustained at six months.
Following the stroke pathway improved by more than 40% for ischaemic and haemorrhagic strokes respectively at six months.
Similar improvements noted in multidisciplinary team management of acute strokes.
