Introduction

The ‘Heart Disease and Stroke Action Plan’ published in June 2009 identified the need to provide specialist training for nurses and to increase the range of opportunities for all staff to gain the knowledge and skills required in stroke care.

This e-learning resource provides a set of ‘Advancing Modules’ which builds on the core knowledge and skills covered by the Stroke Core Competencies.

Start Core Competencies signpost

There are 16 Advancing Modules which provide a more specialised learning resource aimed primarily at registered nursing and AHP staff working in stroke services.

Target Audience

This may include staff who:

  • Have completed their Stroke Core Competencies training
  • Wish to extend their stroke knowledge and skills
  • Wish to refresh their existing stroke knowledge and skills
  • Are responsible for providing training within their area

This Masterclass is aimed at senior staff who are involved in making the decision to treat with thrombolysis. The module consists of a series of virtual patient scenarios which focus on patient history, examination and imaging. The learner is asked to decide what treatment options they would choose and have the opportunity to compare their treatment decisions with selected experts and other learners who have completed the cases.

It is recommended that learners complete the Thrombolysis Advancing Module prior to undertaking the Masterclass.

Target Audience

  • Senior staff involved in making the decision to treat with thrombolysis
  • Staff who have completed the Thrombolysis Advancing Module and wish to extend their knowledge of thrombolysis
