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!

I hope you post your assignment here somewhere once you’ve had it marked?? Would be great to see what you have found out and be ready to share it with the world!

I’m intersted to know from your findings what you think you will do differently in your practice now?
