This two-day event brings together regional and international speakers\, highlighting current key developments in acute stroke care and the unique challenges and opportunities in resource-limited regions such as the Caribbean.Ischemic stroke is a severely debilitating condition for which acute treatment options have significantly advanced over the past de cades. For years now\, intravenous thrombolysis and endovascular thrombect omy have become standard of care. Treatment is possible up to 24 hours aft er the onset of symptoms\, although earlier treatment still leads to bette r (functional) outcomes.While these treatments and the necessary diagnosti c tools are available in many countries\, access remains limited in many r egions\, including most of the Caribbean. Implementing what is now conside red basic acute stroke care presents significant challenges on the Caribbe an islands\, due to financial\, geographical\, and socioeconomic factors. This necessitates difficult trade-offs in acute stroke care in the Caribbe an region\, with the ultimate goal of providing high-quality\, accessible care for everyone.The conference is aimed at both professionals within str oke care in the Caribbean and those in other regions of the world.In the c oming months\, we will present the official conference location on Curacao \, the full conference program\, and our complete list of speakers. Sign u p for the mailing list to receive updates when the official registration p age opens.Mailing list Caribbean Acute Stroke Summit - Formulier invullenT his mailing list will only be used to send sporadic updates regarding the conference\, such as program announcements and the opening of official reg istration.We look forward to welcoming you to Curacao![toggle open='true' title='April 17\, 2027 - Session 1'] From - ToSubjectTypeSpeaker8:30 - 9:0 0Registration Session 1  9:00 - 9:15Opening day 1Plenary sessionStef Bakke r9:15 - 10:15Epidemiology of stroke in the CaribbeanPlenary sessionIzzy Ge rstenbluth 10:15 - 10:30Coffee break  10:30 - 11:30Current state of stroke care: When money isn’t an obstaclePlenary session Jonathan Coutinho11:30 - 12:00Challenges of stroke care in the Caribbean: When money is an obstac lePlenary session Ingemar Merkies12:00 - 13:00Lunch  [/toggle][toggle open ='true' title='April 17\, 2027 - Session 2'] From - ToSubjectTypeSpeaker12 :45 - 13:00Registration Session 2  13:00 - 14:00Role of neurosurgery in st roke in the CaribbeanPlenary session Ellianne dos Santos & Kennedy Ogenio1 4:00 - 15:00Imaging in strokePlenary session Carl Puylaert15:00 - 15:15Clo sing plenary part of day 1Plenary session  Stef Bakker15:15 - 15:45Coffee break  15:45 - 18:001.

The program is ai med at clinical educators\, undergraduate students\, residents\, and inter professional team members who contribute to shaping the hospital’s educati onal culture. Grounded in evidence-informed strategies from health profess ions education\, the initiative promotes collaborative\, reflective\, and context-sensitive learning approaches.\nLearning Goals\n\nDevelop a shared understanding of workplace learning as a dynamic\, participatory\, and so cially embedded process\, particularly from the perspective of faculty and clinical supervisors. \nExamine and strengthen supervisory practices by e xploring how guidance\, observation\, and structured reflection can be des igned to maximize learning affordances for trainees. \nCritically reflect on power\, identity\, and hierarchy by engaging mixed groups of faculty\, residents\, and students in dialogue about psychological safety\, inclusio n\, and exclusion in the clinical workplace.\nIdentify and document barrie rs and enablers of psychological safety across different levels of the hos pital community\, creating a collective foundation for institutional impro vement.\nObserve and interpret local workplace learning practices to uncov er hidden challenges and untapped opportunities for interprofessional coll aboration and inclusive education.\nCo-create actionable\, context-sensiti ve strategies through collective synthesis of workshop outputs and observa tion insights\, fostering feasible and sustainable improvements in the hos pital’s learning culture.\n\nStructure\nThe program is structured as a pro gressive and cumulative learning experience across five days. Workshops on Days 1–4 are offered to different audiences to ensure broad participation across the hospital\, while Day 5 integrates all insights through partici pant observation and collaborative action planning.\nSchedule - Week of Wo rkplace Learning Interventions\n[toggle open='true' title='Day 1: Understa nding Workplace Learning - November 30\, 2026'] \n\n\n\nWorkshop: \nDesign ing Effective Learning Spaces (Faculty & Clinical Supervisors – Group 1)\n \n\n\n\n \nThis interactive workshop engages faculty and clinical supervis ors in analyzing mechanisms of participatory learning and identifying lear ning affordances across roles.

We will focus on the fact th at poverty causes ill health but also that ill health causes poverty. We f urther venture into the structural drivers of health (including social det erminants of health and access barriers) \nSeveral speakers will address t his important topic from different perspectives: youth care\, elderly care \, mental health care. Careful consideration of the relationship of povert y and healthcare is also on the agenda of important advisory and oversight (governmental) institutes like the Inspectorate of Health of Aruba and th e Advisory Council of Curaçao\, and both institutes will share their view. Finally\, we will hear more of the ideas\, views\, and visions of the you nger generation of skilled professionals active on the island on this crit ical topic. We will finalize with a critical assessment panel providing va luable take-home messages. \nSocietal introspection demands that we stop v iewing health disparities as unfortunate side effects of a market economy\ , and instead recognize them as preventable injustices that require immedi ate\, structural reform.\nLEARNING GOALS\n\nRealizing the importance of (e ffectively) addressing poverty to ensure a just and effective health syste m.\nTo accept that by solving the poverty issue we can guarantee a much be tter (public) health environment for our community and citizens.\nThe real ity of poverty in different population groups and the (local) challenges o bserved.\nHow to better advocate for solving the ever growing poverty issu e (in healthcare).\nUnderstanding the views on poverty of the future gener ations. \n\n TARGET AUDIENCE\n\nHealth professionals\nOther professionals \nPolicy makers\nGeneral public\n\n         Weerleggen van Grenzen 2026\n  [toggle open='true' title='Friday\, November 13th\, 2026 - Session 1'] \n \n\n\nFrom - To\nSubject\nSpeaker\n\n\n\n\n \nPoverty: a crucial health de terminant\nChairman: Prof. Dr. A.
