Collaborations

At WSA we encourage collaborations and cooperations with stroke networks, regional stroke organizations and global partners. In the past month we have further strengthened the collaboration with the WSO Education Committee by I) involving its members in the peer-review process of WSA e-learning content and II) inviting the Committee Chairs to join the monthly WSA Leadership meetings. We also continue to work with WSO International Development Manager Sarah Belson and have identified opportunities to collaborate with Stroke Support Organizations more closely.
