With an increasing number of stroke patients being admitted to hospital there has been a rise in the number of patients are being admitted to non-neurological units. We recognize the need for improving clinicians’ comfort and skill level in providing best practice care. To this end, informal information sessions were held where experienced stroke care clinicians reviewed how to complete an initial assessment and shared practical tips to provide the best care possible.
Check out the slides and recordings of these sessions:
The following videos are recordings of the information sessions held for Central Zone Occupational Therapy and Physiotherapy staff in May 2023. They reflect best practice at that time. They serve as an informal resource to clinicians within Nova Scotia Health to improve their comfort in providing stroke care. We ask that these resources not be shared outside of Nova Scotia Health.
