Title:

Stroke Rehabilitation for the Registered Workforce

Description:

This course aims to build on knowledge gained from the non-registered workforce course. This course is designed to demonstrate that rehabilitation should continue outside of individual therapy sessions, if stroke survivors are to achieve the best possible outcomes. The course is broken down into 2 sessions.

Session 1 focuses on how you can support stroke survivors with eating, drinking, communicating, creating the right therapeutic environment and the importance of good mouthcare.

Session 2 focuses on your important role in 24-hour rehabilitation and how you can support stroke survivors with their upper limb, positioning, transferring, decision making and develop an understanding of perception and insight and how this can affect a stroke survivor.

This course is intended for the registered workforce which includes nursing staff and those in allied health professions.
