Deans' stroke musings: Integrating Palliative Care into the ongoing treatment of People Living with Stroke

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Integrating Palliative Care into the ongoing treatment of People Living with Stroke - World Stroke Academy

Needed because the WSO IS A COMPLETE FUCKING FAILURE AT ADDRESSING 100% RECOVERY PROTOCOLS! They need to be destroyed and run by survivors!

Integrating Palliative Care into the ongoing treatment of People Living with Stroke

Join us 25^th March 4 – 5 PM (CET) for a webinar on “Integrating Palliative Care into the ongoing treatment of People Living with Stroke”

Palliative care is often overlooked in stroke management, despite its importance in addressing the complex needs of patients and caregivers. This webinar will explore how healthcare professionals can integrate palliative care into stroke treatment, covering symptom management strategies, the needs of families and caregivers, and approaches to improving access to palliative care, particularly in low-resource settings. This webinar is organized in collaboration with the Worldwide Hospice Palliative Care Alliance (WHPCA).

Learning Objectives:

To describe the population of patients suffering from stroke that need palliative care and their special needs throughout the trajectory of illness.
To identify the palliative symptom management strategies used in management of stroke.
To understand the physical, psychological, social, and practical needs of families and caregivers following stroke.
To improve the ability of neurological professionals to integrate palliative care into their practices.
