Effective stroke unit care includes programmes of education and training for staff to provide them with the knowledge, skills and interest, to deliver effective therapeutic care and rehabilitation. A variety of approaches have been described, from weekly short seminars to less frequent study days.18 Evidence level 1+

A programme of training and education for members of the stroke unit multidisciplinary team has been reported in four case studies (which contributed to the systematic review for the effectiveness of stroke units).10 These ranged from informal weekly educational events, to a programme of formal education ranging from one to six days per year. Evidence level 3

There was concern that specialist staff would reduce the skills of junior staff, however, this was felt to be easily overcome by rotating staff and students through the unit.
