Acute stroke pathway use in Tasmanian emergency departments

Tuesday 4 August 2026, 3:30–4:30 pm AEST

Stroke Week Tasmanian webinar

Please join us for a FREE webinar, to help celebrate Stroke Week!

The webinar will be presented by Tawanda, a senior physiotherapist (THS-South) and PhD researcher, working with THS-South Quality and Safety, working on the IMPACT project (implementing clinical pathways in acute care). Tawanda already has six publications, including three on ED clinical pathways, with this presentation focusing on the 'acute stroke pathway utilisation' in emergency departments in Tasmania.

Tawanda will discuss his recent findings from a Retrospective observational study of data, collected in 2021, comparing NOF (Neck of Femur fracture) and Code stroke Pathway utilisation in Tasmanian Emergency Departments.

It will also be interesting to discuss and compare current themes, improvements, or continued barriers existing in ED's.

What will you learn about?

Global evidence on use of pathways in the ED
Suspected acute stroke pathway use in Tasmanian EDs, assessing guideline adherence, waiting times and inter- hospital variation.
Clinical pathways adoption challenges in EDs – barriers and enablers.

Yes, it will be recorded if you miss it!
