Course Description:
It is your time, experience and expertise as a healthcare provider that make all the difference in the treatment of stroke. The longer treatment is delayed, the greater is the likelihood of brain damage. Join nationally-recognized speaker and neuroscience nursing expert, Joyce Campbell, for this timely and evidence-based program designed to improve your ability to quickly pinpoint an area of brain injury, determine the associated neurological deficits and respond appropriately.
Joyce will guide you through the delivery-of-care continuum - from initial neurological assessment, pre-hospital and acute care, to inpatient management, transition in care and rehabilitation. Learn the latest strategies for expanding the window of care for stroke patients and implementing innovative and practical measures for improving the quality of stroke care in your clinical setting.
