Webinar Overview:

This 1-hr webinar will help occupational therapists understand how the 2017 Australian stroke guidelines were developed, how research was identified and appraised, how recommendations were made, and implications for practice. Content will be relevant to hospital-based therapists, those working in outpatient or day therapy services, community and residential settings. Of the eight chapters, most time will be spent reviewing the rehabilitation chapter, managing complications chapter, and the community participation and long-term care chapter.

The webinar will demonstrate how to download PDF copies of each chapter, and conclude with suggestions for evaluating practice against the guideline recommendations.

Course Outline:

By the end of the webinar, participants will be able to:

1) Download PDF copies of the guideline chapters from the InformMe website

2) Understand the GRADE rating system for appraising research studies

3) Understand the difference between strong, weak and consensus-based recommendations

4) View and interpret the research evidence and rationale associated with topics

5) Plan how to audit practice against the guideline recommendations

How will this webinar enable participants to work occupationally with clients/patients?
