Who it is for
This course is aimed primarily at people working in adult care as they are likely to be working closely with people that are most at risk of having a stroke.
Why online learning works
Having a knowledge of the symptoms of stroke can equip you to identify these and act quickly if you are in contact with someone who has a stroke. The quicker medical treatment can be administered to the person suffering a stroke the better the outcome is likely to be. Online training is flexible, efficient and cost effective meaning the candidate can progress through the modules at their own pace and in their own time so they can fit the training in around their work and personal life.
