Models of Clinical Practice

This course will explore what we mean by the term multidisciplinary practice. participants will review different practice models, ranging from interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary care and their relationship to the organisation of care. participants will be encouraged to consider these issues in the context of the continuum of care. Evidence on the organisation of stroke care will be critiqued to determine its influence and relevance in clinical decision making in a range of different settings. The role of each team member, including each of the professions and the patient/carer will be reviewed in the context of multdisciplinary team goals and outcomes. participants will have the opportunity to acquire new knowledge and skills and to apply what they have learned to their own stroke services.
