About this course

Stroke awareness and the carer’s role

This 30-minute course is intended for care workers, support workers and family carers supporting someone after a stroke. The syllabus introduces stroke types and includes recognition as a learning topic. It then considers physical, cognitive and emotional effects, communication difficulties, daily living and support for families.

Care Planning offers separate learning about assessing needs and reviewing support. Staff whose role also includes preparing meals can compare the IDDSI dysphagia course for cooks, which focuses on texture-modified food and drinks. That catering curriculum is a distinct course choice alongside the carer-focused stroke course.
