Description

As the ageing population continues to contribute to rising admissions in rehabilitation facilities, healthcare professionals must be well-equipped to handle the complexities of stroke and its common co-morbidities. This program addresses a crucial gap by tailoring the content specifically to the needs of healthcare workers in rehab settings. By offering a holistic approach to stroke rehabilitation, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, smoking cessation, and diabetes, we empower you to make a lasting impact on patient well-being and promote improved patient outcomes.  

  • Roles and Goals in Rehabilitation Settings: Explore the unique roles of healthcare professionals, including PTs, OTs, nurses, and more, within rehabilitation facilities. Learn how to identify and align rehabilitation goals to enhance patient outcomes effectively. 
  • Pathophysiology and Management of Stroke: Gain a deep understanding of stroke pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment options. Acquire the skills to provide holistic care and evidence-based interventions for stroke patients. 
  • Managing Co-Morbidities: Delve into the management of common co-morbidities such as diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia in stroke rehabilitation settings. Learn about pharmacological management, treatment modalities, and specialized care for diabetic emergencies. 
  • Smoking Cessation Strategies: Develop effective strategies for promoting smoking cessation among stroke patients. Master the art of accurate conversations and small interventions that can lead to significant positive impacts on patient health. 

By equipping you with an integrated understanding of stroke, its co-morbidities, and evidence-based interventions, this training empowers you to be the catalyst for transformative recoveries, enabling you to provide elevated care and drive remarkable improvements in patient outcomes after stroke.
