How Stroke Training Developed

Chest, Heart and Stroke Scotland (CHSS), in partnership with Argyll & Clyde 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 Argyll & Clyde have more recently provided education and training courses and study days throughout the region.

Fro dates see Related Documents - right.

The courses have been designed as:

  • the part 1 and part 2 courses are 2 consecutive days each plus a follow-up day 1 month later. Maximum 16 participants.
  • the advanced course takes the form of 1 day only and focuses on a specific topic

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.
