Fife Stroke Training

How stroke training developed in fife

In 2002 Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland (CHSS) in partnership with NHS Fife 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 Fife 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
• Current Care in Stroke Part 2
• Single Stroke Study Days

For Current courses and dates see Related Documents.

• The Current Care in Stroke Part 1 takes the form of 2 consecutive days with a follow–up day 1 month later.
  The Current Care in Stroke Part 2 takes the form of 2 consecutive days .
  

  Both courses can accommodate a maximum of 16 participants.

• The Single Stroke Study Days take the form of 1 day only and focus 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.
