This project will use an external remote facilitation strategy to support Australian and New Zealand stroke units and stroke services to implement the FeSS Protocols when caring for patients with acute stroke. This is especially important in rural and remote areas where patients are at increased risk for stroke.1

More hospitals using these evidence-based, guideline recommended FeSS Protocols will result in better patient outcomes after stroke.
