Stress less and start self care, stop burnout

A stroke can happen to anyone. This is an awareness raising webinar looking at what a stroke is and how to recognise when someone might be having a stroke. Having a greater insight into how this brain injury can impact on individuals, can help to inform any professional or personal interactions you may have with people affected by stroke. This webinar also covers what we can all do to reduce our risk of stroke, the work of the Stroke Association and ways we could potentially make a difference together.

This session will explore the essential components of conducting an effective postural assessment for seating, supporting clinicians to deliver well-informed, person-centred outcomes. It will examine the concept of clinical reasoning- what it is, why it matters, and the importance of taking a systematic approach when assessing for seating. We will consider the importance of using the correct terminology when recording gathered data and how best to present to clearly to justify equipment request.

The webinar will also focus on some examples of assessment findings and share clinically justification for decision making, sharing practical insights, tips, and best practices to strengthen confidence and consistency. Attendees will be guided through the process of gathering and recording critical assessment data, analysing key findings, and translating this information into clear, robust equipment provision recommendations that meet the needs of patients and clients.

By considering the changes that happen to us when we age and careful thought in the contents of the brief, we can produce interiors and environments that can enhance the experience of residents in our Care Homes. In this webinar we discuss those changes and the various ways to produce good interiors.
