Meetings
The SAP-E Steering Committee and all national delegates meet regularly
On 8 September 2020, the implementation phase of the Stroke Action Plan for Europe was initiated with an official Kick-Off Meeting. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the meeting was held online and the more than 80 stroke experts from 52 countries gathered virtually to mark the start of this important initiative.
In his introduction, ESO President Prof. Martin Dichgans, Munich reinforced the initiative’s overall goal of creating a framework that will assist countries to improve stroke care across Europe. It is “only with the involvement, collaboration and joint effort of [..] the representatives of national scientific societies and patient organisations, that this aim can be achieved”, he said.
The SAP-E Steering Committee presented detailed insights regarding the preparation work and achievements to date as well as an outlook for the upcoming years.
Upcoming Meetings
To meet the needs of each region and work towards reaching the overarching targets with tailored support from the SAP-E Steering Committee, upcoming meetings will be in regional working groups.
Throughout the first half year of 2021, the SAP-E project has focused on hosting training sessions and workshops on the tasks of the National Coordinators. The goals of these sessions have been to share best practices and practical implementation as well as plan next steps with the support of the SAP-E Steering Committee Members.
