Stroke Training — Greater Glasgow and Clyde

How stroke training developed

Chest Heart & Stroke (CHSS), in partnership with Greater Glasgow & 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 Greater Glasgow & Clyde have more recently provided 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
• Topic Specific Study Days

For current courses and dates see Related Documents.

• Current Care in Stroke Part 1 is delivered over 2 consecutive days with a follow up day 1 month later.
  Current Care in Stroke Part 2 is delivered over 2 consecutive days.
  Both courses can facilitate a maximum of 20 participants.

• The Topic Specific Study Days focus on specific relevant topics.

Each course / 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.

Team of trainers

The stroke training coordinator along with a team of trainers, all with specific interest and experience in stroke, delivers the different aspects of the courses.
