Multi Professional Cooperation in Stroke Management 2018

Multi Professional Cooperation in Stroke Management is organized by HU University of Applied Sciences Utrecht and will be held from Jul 02 - 13, 2018 at Utrecht, Netherlands.

The target audience for this medical event is medical doctors, physio therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language therapists, nurses, social workers, neuro psychologists. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 5.0 ECTS credits.

Course Description:
In this summer school, you work in multidisciplinary groups (e.g. medicine, nursing, physiotherapy and speech-language therapy). You will start from your own profession and your knowledge about diagnosis and treatment of the problems of patients after stroke. Then you learn how to prepare and participate in multidisciplinary discussions and rounds. You enlarge your knowledge about stroke and about other professions.

Multiprofessional cooperation becomes increasingly important in the healthcare sector. Effective coordination and collaboration amongst practitioners are vital to the delivery of good care to patients with a complex pattern of symptoms. In the future, more patients will suffer from chronic, and in many cases complex, illnesses. So, cooperation among professionals is going to become more and more necessary.

This course creates a learning situation in which multi professional cooperation can be practiced by students from different faculties and subjects, working together on the same cases – especially, the treatment of patients after stroke (cerebral vascular accident, CVA).

Course Aims:
The central question is: what information do I need from other professionals for my treatment, and what information do other professionals need from me for their treatment?
One competency is central: the ability to prepare, conduct and evaluate multi disciplinary rounds.
That should result in:
• a multi-professional assessment or treatment plan;
• a coherent referrals policy within the care chain

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
