Popis: The stroke advance clinical practitioner (ACP) and stroke specialist nurse (SSN) are two vitally important roles within the hyper acute stroke unit, acute stroke unit and spoke sites that provide acute stroke care for continued rehabilitation until the point of discharge. The SSN role has been developed over the past decade, whereas the ACP role is much newer. While there are similarities between the two roles, there are some core differences that allow the two roles to coexist and support one another. It is important to understand the two roles, the differences and how each will benefit from the other, as this will allow teams working within hyper acute stroke units and acute stroke units to work to their full potential, while ensuring professional and patient safety and enhancing job satisfaction and patient care.
