The two- year WSO Future Stroke Leaders programme will equip a global cohort of early career clinicians and researchers with an in-depth understanding of key challenges in relation to stroke and how these can be addressed within diverse stroke care systems.
The Programme consists of:
The Future Stroke Leaders programme lead and WSO Past President Prof Werner Hacke said ‘This is an exciting programme that builds on the WSO’s commitment to delivering a diverse community of stroke specialists, equipped with the broad ranging leadership, clinical, research and advocacy skills that are needed to drive the transformation of stroke care’.
The theme of the 2022 intake is “Implementation of Quality Stroke Care’. The curriculum, developed and delivered by the WSO faculty, will span the stroke care continuum from prevention, acute treatment to post-stroke care and will support the development and exercise of key skills including research and peer review, writing for publication, care quality improvement tools, multidisciplinary collaboration, project design and management, and stroke advocacy.
Those interested in being part of the Future Stroke Leaders programme are asked to provide a one-page letter outlining their expectations and motivation for participation, a short biographical note and a recent photograph. The application should also include a short letter from the institution, organization or department where the candidate works confirming their support and commitment to providing the time needed to participate in the programme.
The selection interviews will take place during April - May, 2022. Successful applicants will be informed by June 30th, 2022 and will be provided with preparatory reading materials and curated World Stroke Academy resources which they are expected to have read and completed in advance of the October workshop.
You can send your application through this link https://www.world-stroke.org/world-stroke-future-leaders with the deadline by 28th of February, 2022.
Please note the attachments are mandatory and your application won’t proceed without required attachments.

Achieving our vision of a life free from stroke is a task that WSO cannot achieve alone. We are committed to building our partnerships at the global, regional and national level to scale up and deliver improvements in prevention, treatment and support to reduce the burden of stroke.
