Setting up a new stroke centre or maintaining the high standards expected of a centre of excellence is a complex task. Together with our expert steering committee we have created a set of tools that are aimed at solving this complexity. The enrolment form lists the pillars of the Angels Initiative and can be used to officially enrol a new hospital, and includes hospital name, address, and an agreement to our terms and conditions. The form is an agreement by hospitals to set up a new stroke-ready hospital or to optimise the stroke treatment in their hospital.

The registration certificate, included in the welcome pack for new member organizations, affirms the organization's commitment to uphold the standards and values of an Angels member.

The New Angels member welcome letter, included in the welcome pack, is signed by the Angels project leads, as well as the presidents of WSO and ESO. It outlines our purpose, mission, and consultancy process, and formally welcomes the new member to their Angels journey.

Evidence and experience have shown that effective co-ordination of resources and processes is necessary to become a unit that consistently treats stroke patient effectively and safely. This document captures important information about your hospital’s structure regarding stroke management. It was designed to analyse the current situation in your hospital in terms of treatment of stroke, and to compare it with best practice standards. Answers to the various questions should reflect the current state and not the desired future state of stroke management in your hospital. The Angels Initiative provides various tools including protocols, training resources and quality monitoring using the ESO Excellence criteria to assist with the action plan implementation as and where it is needed. All information contained within this form is strictly confidential and will only be used to help create an action plan within the context of the Angels Initiative.

Colour-coded checklists to standardise process and reduce complexity for EMS staff, nurses and doctors.

Our comprehensive E-learning Courses Catalogue provides detailed information on all available e-learning courses on the Angels Website. This resource is designed to support hospital consultancy and strategic regional education planning.

A legal document that describes the purpose of the stroke bag and what exactly is provided by the Angels Initiative team in order to get approval for its distribution. It is important to make clear that this stroke bag will not be given to individual HCP’s, but rather to hospitals as an item of medical utility to improve treatment of stroke. This falls under Article 9 of the EFPIA HCP code.

The document describes the design of the stroke bag, its manufacturer, material, dimensions. It can be used to source a local manufacturer other than the one in China that the Catherine Turner Team is using to order the stroke bags.

A well-stocked Stroke Bag is critical to ensuring a seamless patient experience for each stroke patient. Within this kit we have included all the forms you require, including the Induction Documents, Process Forms, Quality Forms, Reference Documents, Wrist Bands and Labels. We have made a recommendation regarding the medical supplies you will require; however, please use equivalent products relevant to the supplies available in your institution. Please ensure the Stroke Bag is restocked after each patient treatment. 

One of the most effective tools we use to identify bottlenecks and optimise stroke care is ‘dummy patient simulation training’. Evidence shows that hospitals using this training regularly, manage to significantly improve their performance in the long term. Focusing on the patient pathway, medical teams are supported by Angels consultants to identify bottlenecks in their hospital, and find appropriate solutions to optimise stroke care. This brochure serves as an introduction to simulations for hospitals, with detailed descriptions of each step: Introductory Meeting, 1st simulation, debriefing and discussion, 2nd simulation, debriefing and discussion.

A two-minute video explaining the process and objectives of in-hospital simulations. Filming a simulated case of acute stroke is one of our most important tools to lower DTN times and increase the impact of priority actions. 

A PPT file on "How to run an effective debriefing". It will give you some important knowledge and key points to keep in mind for your simulation debriefings in hospitals. The presentation can be printed as an A5 booklet and distributed to everyone involved in the debriefing meeting.
