Question 1

How can organisations improve stroke recognition?

Accepted Answer

Regular awareness training on FAST, clear posters in staff areas, scenario-based first aid refreshers and straightforward instructions to 'call 999, not GP' when FAST is positive all help reduce delay. Embedding stroke into broader deterioration recognition training (with sepsis and ACS) also supports better decision-making.
