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!!!

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 have procrastinated so much about the previously mentioned assignment that this afternoon I even baked a batch of pear muffins ! (i never bake!!)

Here is the reference for the article on PTA i was referring to a couple of weeks ago.

A multicentre, randomised trial examining the effect of test procedures measuring emergence from posttraumatic amnesia. 2006. R L Tate, A Pfaff, I J Baguley, J E Marosszeky, J A Gurka, A E Hodgkinson, C King,A T Lane-Brown, J Hanna. J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry 2006;77:841–849.

Sorry about the crazy font!! the GOAT is the Galveston Orientationand Amnesia Test.

Well we are up to week 4 of our research of web 2.0. Its amazing how much we’ve all learned as a group already! my del.icio.us site is up and running and actually quite fun! I found it really useful in the weekend compiling all of my readings for an assignment on del.icio.us, also a fun way to procrastinate rather than actually writing anything!!!
