More on Stroke Rehab
I meant to say that I have saved most of the articles I used for my assignment on my del.ici.ous or citeulike site. Help yourselves!!!
Post grad exhaustion
I have just spent the weekend writing an assignment about setting up a community stroke service. I managed to find lots of evidence about how an effective community stroke service can reduce bed days by 13 days – go us!! Also reduce carer stress and burden and increase functional outcomes for patients ( Obviously the best reason!) It was a gruelling assignment but I feel positive about rehabilitation at the end of it- great to find lots of concrete evidence to back up all the hard work as well.
Post grad study is pretty tough on top of full time work though, I’m not sure how people manage it with kids!! Would love to have my weekend back again now!

procrastination…
i have procrastinated so much about the previously mentioned assignment that this afternoon I even baked a batch of pear muffins ! (i never bake!!)
Can anyone help?
I am currently writing an assignment for a post grad paper. For this I have to write a business plan for some sort of service. I have decided to write the plan for a mobile stroke service within Dunedin. I have worked in a similar team in the UK so have some understanding of what I’m proposing, but I need to find evidence to back this up. The literature I really need is anything that supports early discharge after stroke, and improved functional otcomes following rehab in a persons own home. If anyone could help i’ll be forever grateful!! Thanks…
