Dumfries And Galloway Stroke Training

In 2003 Chest, Heart and Stroke Scotland (CHSS) in partnership with NHS Dumfries & Galloway identified the need for specialised training for nurses and other health professionals working with stroke patients and their families. With the appointment of a Stroke Training Coordinator, NHS Dumfries & Galloway has successfully been providing education and training courses and study days throughout the region.

Courses and dates 2008 - see related documents - right.

The courses have been designed at Introductory, Intermediate and Advanced levels

• the introductory and intermediate courses both take the form of 2 consecutive days plus a follow-up day 1 month later. Maximum of 16 participants.
• the advanced course takes the form of 1 day only and focuses on a specific topic in stroke

Each course and study day stands alone, the content having been carefully chosen to address the knowledge and skills required at that particular level. On completion a personal action plan is drawn up to identify further specific learning needs, which are discussed with the line manager.

The courses and study days aim to

• be relevant to the workplace
• reflect practice
• empower and enable
• challenge, but support and be non-judgemental
• build confidence

Specifically designed study days can be set up in order to address the learning needs of particular staff groups.
