Reviews
Very comprehensive insight to the treatment of stroke patients and the likely outcome from various methods of post stroke care. Venue was good, comfortable and able to see the presentation easily.
Excellent informative session. Helped put into perspective acute management options and effectiveness. Excelent education and information on stroke types and epidemiology. Nicely related to practice and put into perspective from this angle. Speaker well informed and interesting.
Consultant speaker was very clear in information he was giving. Feedback for Skills platform - this was the first event I have attended would like the sessions to be more compiled into one day would be better. Had to travel from Wakefield to Bradford to attend would prefer closer.
The learning gained has enabled me to improve the way i work.
