European Stroke Organization
The European Stroke Organization ( ESO ) is a Europe-wide association of doctors and scientists as well as national and regional stroke societies. It was founded in Heidelberg in December 2007 and emerged from the association from the European Stroke Council (ESC) and the European Stroke Initiative (EUSI) . ESO President is Bart van der Worp (Utrecht, Netherlands). The company is based in Basel .
Goals and mission
The association has set itself the task of improving stroke treatment in Europe. This is to be done primarily through better training of doctors and laypeople with regard to stroke, but also through the creation of constantly updated treatment guidelines that are translated into different languages. The aim is also to harmonize stroke management in Europe, for example by defining standards for stroke units . The aim is to reduce the number of deaths caused by stroke and to improve care for those affected. For this purpose, training courses and symposia are offered throughout Europe, and ESO also participates in the annual European Stroke Organization Conference (ESOC) .
journal
The association supports the publication of the scientific journal European Stroke Journal , which appears quarterly.
