Furthermore, all staff roles can receive education because many staff have contact with residents outwith caring roles, i.e., maintenance, housekeeping, managers, office staff, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This page and the materials on it were developed through a collaborative quality improvement (QI) project between the NHS Lothian Stroke Team, Care Homes and NHS Lothian&#8217;s Quality Improvement Team for Care Homes and Primary Care Settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-pb-accordion-item c-accordion__item js-accordion-item no-js\" data-initially-open=\"false\" data-click-to-close=\"true\" data-auto-close=\"true\" data-scroll=\"true\" data-scroll-offset=\"0\"><h2 id=\"at-80520\" class=\"c-accordion__title js-accordion-controller\" role=\"button\">Read more about the project to develop these materials<\/h2><div id=\"ac-80520\" class=\"c-accordion__content\">\n<p class=\"has-light-accent-grey-background-color has-background has-regular-font-size\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:400\">The quality improvement project to develop these resources started after reflective discussions around how suitable the present stroke education was for people working in Care Homes and that NHS stroke education was seldom accessed by Care Homes; there was a desire to ensure Care Homes had access to stroke education that suited their needs. <br><br>We spoke to Care Homes about what they would like to see in relation to stroke education for Care Homes &#8211; there was a desire to include not only acute and rehabilitation phases of a stroke but also caring for someone with a stroke longer term; something which is particularly relevant to people working in a Care Home where they may care for someone with a stroke many years after the person has experienced their stroke. There was also a desire for a mixture of resources from online learning to in-person learning.<br><br>From this, we developed a stroke education package of online resources and in-person education. We tested this with four Care Homes in Edinburgh to gain initial feedback. Overall feedback was very good with a few small changes required, such as different sessions for different staff roles, as some roles already have some educaiton on stroke, but others don&#8217;t. <br><br>Following this, we tested the stroke education package (with changes made in relation to previous feedback) on a wider scale with more Care Homes; across the four areas of Lothians and with a wider variety of &#8220;types&#8221; of Care Homes (i.e. Private, Charity, Local Authority). Again, overall feedback was very good, and the changes we made appeared to have been beneficial to learners.<br><br>From this, we have decided to roll out this information and education package across Care Homes in Lothian, so that everyone can access it. Initially, we will still collate feedback to ensure the materials meet your needs.<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-hazard-yellow-background-color has-background\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">More detail<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We have developed the following resources to evidence our work.
