Stroke Awareness
Around 1 in 5 women and 1 in 6 men will have a stroke in their lives. That’s pretty high. Survival rates and quality of life can highly depend on the speed that support is given.
In this course we look at stroke symptoms and the importance of acting quickly. We explore what can cause strokes and how the risks can be reduced. We will cover the impact on people’s lives and what care workers can do to support a stroke survivor.
Who should take this course?
This course has been designed specifically for Care and Support Workers working in a social care setting. It may also be useful to a wider audience of people who would like to know more about strokes.
