National Stroke Care Meeting

Dear Sir,
Dear Madam,

We are pleased to invite you to the first meeting dedicated to the organisation of stroke care in Belgium.

The Stroke Action Plan for Europe (SAP-E) was launched in 2018 with the aim of improving stroke prevention, treatment and care across Europe by 2030. Its mission is to provide a framework for national governments and healthcare systems to strengthen stroke care and ensure equitable access to quality care for all citizens. SAP-E defines clear objectives in the areas of primary prevention, acute care, rehabilitation and life after stroke. In addition, it encourages the collection of data via the Stroke Service Tracker in order to monitor progress and influence health policies at national and European level.

Belgium currently has neither a national stroke register nor a national stroke plan, which is the focus of this first meeting.

Further details and the preliminary programme are available in french or dutch .

We hope to see many of you there! We expect a maximum of 2 participants per hospital.
Please confirm your attendance by 1 June via info@belgianstrokecouncil.be

Yours sincerely,
Sylvie De Raedt, Laetitia Yperzeele, François Delvoye SAP-E National Coordinators, on behalf of the Belgian Stroke Council

    Europe is failing to provide adequate stroke care and support
    The scale of stroke care crisis is laid bare by new data release

    New data collected as part of the Stroke Action Plan for Europe (SAP-E) Stroke Service Tracker reveals the
    gross inequity of access to care and support for stroke patients and stroke survivors across Europe.

    The SAP-E was launched in 2018 to provide a framework for European governments to improve stroke care
    and support for all European citizens. As part of this plan, data from 36 countries across Europe, covering
    12 key areas of improvement, has been collected in and is available via the SAP-E website.
