Specialist practice in stroke care (degree level) (HEAC371C)
Enabling healthcare professionals to become effective key personnel in the delivery and enhancement of stroke services
CPD for healthcare professionals

This 40 credit degree-level module has been designed to enhance the quality of provision for patients and their families/carers who have suffered a stroke. We aim to enable practitioners to develop their professional knowledge and skills through study and analysis of their practice in the care and rehabilitation of people with a stroke. The course focuses on the development of the practice-based skills to provide an optimal care environment for effective stroke care, 24 hours a day and seven days a week.
You will also be equipped to facilitate and/or lead on improving services for stroke patients, their carers and families and the interdisciplinary team.
A variety of learning methods will be utilised including lead lectures, demonstrations, group work, problem based learning, critical reading, seminars and discussions.
This module can be studied as a standalone module or as an optional module towards some of our BSc (Hons) Professional Development pathways - please contact the Professional Development Unit for further information.
