Training events

Our network events are generally aimed at staff working in both community and inpatient settings, are applicable to a range of professions (including medicine), and may also be suitable for professionals in the voluntary sector. Royal College of Physician CPD accreditation will be sought for events of particular relevance to doctors.

Professionals employed by private companies may be able to access our face to face events with the following caveats:

  • If the event is free then a charge will be levied. This will be used to support future events
  • If places are limited then priority will be given to NHS, public sector or voluntary sector staff

You can sign up to our mailing list to receive regular bulletins about training and other updates. You can also subscribe to our YouTube Channel where we host our online videos and you can download the presentations from many of the events here.

1. Foundation and introductory level programmes

We have relaunched face to face events which will rotate round different Trusts in Greater Manchester, with at least four planned per year. The day is aimed at new starters, those new to stroke care or staff needing a refresher. The content reflects our local care pathways and has been agreed regionally so is not organisation specific. It is aimed at inpatient services but is also applicable to local community or voluntary sector staff. Topics are delivered by local experts and include: stroke overview, pre-hospital care; A&E assessment; hyper acute care; MDT working; psychology; secondary prevention and life after stroke.

Introductory Level Stroke Study Day – 22nd February 24 – Frank Rifkin Lecture Theatre, Mayo Building, Salford Royal

Later 2024 dates and venues to be confirmed

2. Experienced/advanced level

Our masterclasses are now generally delivered as webinars via MS Teams although some are now face to face. Hyperlinked events are open for bookings.
