Dumfries And Galloway Stroke Training

In 2003 Chest Heart & Stroke (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.

The courses have been designed as:

• Current Care in Stroke Part 1 which is delivered over 2 consecutive days (maximum of 20 participants).
• Current Care in Stroke Part 2 which is delivered over 2 consecutive days (maximum of 20 participants).
• The Single Stroke Study Days focus on specific relevant topics.

• Care Home & Care Agency Study Days include relevant topics that are current and evidence based.

For Current courses and dates see Related Documents.

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.
