RSU Multidisciplinary Team
- Your care at the RSU will be coordinated and implemented by a multidisciplinary healthcare team.
- The team aims to promote your independence after your stroke using evidence-based practice and to provide long term support for you and your family/carers.
Stroke rehabilitation is an active process beginning from your admission with an acute stroke to the hospital, progressing to a systematic programme of rehabilitation services, and continuing after your return to the community.
Stroke rehabilitation at RSU is an organised intervention to maximise your opportunities to return to an active and varied lifestyle. The clinical manifestations of stroke are multifaceted and complex, and this is why stroke rehabilitation is implemented through the coordinated skills of a team of rehabilitation professionals.
From a modest beginning in 2001, the Welsh Stroke Conference (WSC) has grown into a one day conference, attended in excess of 400 delegates from across the health and social care disciplines.
The Conference also attracts speakers from and across the globe. The high point each year is the Bhowmick Lecture - a reflective session which considers various aspects of stroke care and delivered by an eminent specialist in stroke.
The Welsh Stroke Conference (WSC) 2009 was a success. Join us in 2010 and details to follow.
