Grampian Stroke Training

In 2005 Chest, Heart & Stroke Scotland (CHSS), in partnership with NHS Grampian, identified the need for specialist training for nurses and other health professionals working with stroke patients and their families.

With the appointment of a Stroke Training Coordinator, NHS Grampian has been successfully providing education, 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 cover a variety of topics essential to the care of the stroke patient and their family. Both these courses take the form of 2 consecutive study days plus a follow up day 1 month later and have a maximum of 16 participants.

• The Advanced day takes the form of 1 day only and focuses on a specific topic

Each course and study day stands alone the content having been chosen to address the knowledge and skills required at their particular level. On completion a personal action plan is drawn up to identify further 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 needs of the particular staff groups.

Team Of Trainers

The Stroke Training Coordinator with a team of trainers, all from the Flexible Therapy Stroke Team, deliver the different aspects of the courses.
