The European Stroke Organisation (ESO) Simulation Committee was established in 2017 with the intent to promote simulation education and training in the stroke field. The application of simulation methodology in education and training improves healthcare professional performances in real clinical practice and patient outcomes. We evaluated the implementation of simulation training in stroke medicine, how it can significantly affect stroke pathways and quality of care. We herewith describe simulation techniques in the acute stroke setting. Simulation programs place the trainees in a safe environment, allowing both role-playings for decision making training and procedural simulation for technical skills improvement. This paper includes the position of the Committee on the key points, principles, and steps in order to set up and promote simulation programs in European stroke centers. Stroke is an emergency, and hyperacute phase management requires knowledge, expertise, optimal multidisciplinary team working, and timely actions in a very narrow time window. The ESO Simulation Committee promotes the implementation of simulation training in stroke care according to a specific and validated methodology.
