Wessex HIEC launches online training and brochure for stroke care teams
Earlier discharges for many stroke care patients are being made from hospitals with the support of community-based teams. Wessex HIEC has been working with local networks to improve the quality of these services.
The University of Central Lancashire, in collaboration with the Wessex HIEC and the Wessex stroke clinical leads forum for early supported discharge (ESD), has launched an online training package for professionals involved in stroke care. The clinical leads forum has also developed a brochure for patients and their families to understand more about the condition and information specific to their own care.
