All about Stroke Awareness Course
On completion of the course, students will gain a better understanding of strokes and how they can impact people.
You will explore the fundamental anatomy of the brain and how it functions as well as the different types of strokes and how they differ. You will then explore what happens during a stroke and the common signs of a stroke. You will also cover some UK statistics for stroke and why stroke awareness is important.
You will then go on to discuss the risk factors of strokes and explore the difference between non-modifiable and modifiable risk factors and why this is important. You will also cover lifestyle factors that can increase and decrease the risk of a stroke occurring.
You will explore the treatment options for stroke survivors and how to determine which kind of stroke is happening and how each one is treated. We will then explore some of the ongoing effects of a stroke and why these will vary between people.
Finally we will expand on how these effects can impact daily life for those who have had a stroke, including how the individual may need to rely on equipment, adaptations or care post-stroke. We will cover how strokes may impact family members and informal carers.
In order to complete the course, you must achieve 80% or more in the final multiple choice quiz.
