Evidence Informed Decision Making within Neurological Rehabilitation – a series of short courses
This series of short courses provides the opportunity to develop and enhance your understanding of motor control, motor learning, pathology and the current guidelines to underpin your decision making when working with patients with neurological impairment
relation to each pathology. Focus will be given to recent Guidelines and recommendations for evidence informed practice. These days can all be taken together or separately depending on need.
Who should attend this course?
This series of short courses is designed for all health professionals who wish to extend and enhance their knowledge to help underpin their decision making when working with patients with neurological impairment. The short course days can be taken in isolation or as a series of all or some days. It is recommended that participants attend the first two day block on ‘Underpinning decision making within neurological rehabilitation’ and then follow this with as many of the subject specific one day courses as is appropriate to their needs. You should be a qualified healthcare professional with experience of practice that involves the assessment and management of patients (of any age) with neurological impairment. It is anticipated that the days will be of interest to both a wide range of therapists, as well as nursing staff.
Module Aims
The module aims to enable you to develop a deeper understanding of a range of topics that underpin decision making within neurological rehabilitation and the application of this knowledge to the assessment and management of these patients.
Module Content
The first two day block of this short course series will explore a range of topics that help to support one’s decision making in the assessment and management of patients with neurological impairment. These include: motor control, central and peripheral plasticity and motor learning. As well as focus being given to the nervous system, consideration will also be given to other body systems. These two days will be suitable for those working with patients of all age ranges, from child to adult. The following series of days will each focus on a separate pathology: Stroke, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease and Cerebral Palsy. These will build on the first two day block to consider more specific decision making in
