Stroke Awareness Course.

Duration: 1 Hour

The course starts by explaining what a stroke is and how you can identify one. You will learn what the stroke risk factors are and how can you prevent them, for yourself and for the people you care for.

You’ll also learn about the effects of strokes (physical, mental and emotional), how to minimise their impact and what resources are available to stroke survivors and carers for after-stroke care.

You will automatically get a course certificate on course completion, with your name, the CPD hours earned, the date and all the learning objectives discussed.
