A Stroke Team Workshop was held on November 19th bringing together members of the interdisciplinary team to learn more about stroke. The morning included didactic sessions and a very informative talk by David, a Person With Lived Experience.
In the afternoon registrants rotated through skill stations including positioning and shoulder management, feeding & oral care, communication, ADL’s & stroke deficits, administration of the Canadian Neurological Scale, and the Rehab Candidacy Triage Tool.
