4 AREA PROFILE Welcome to the Acute Stroke Unit. We are a unit caring for patients following acute stroke events, from all of the Newcastle area as well as occasional patients from the surrounding areas that present to any of the three central Newcastle hospitals (NGH, RVI, Freeman) The Acute Stroke Unit is made up of an MDT team based on ward 14 at the Freeman Hospital. All patients admitted with a diagnosis of stroke are admitted to the unit. This includes TIA s through to TACS, which means that there is a huge range of abilities dealt with. There is a thrombolysis service available for those patients that present and can be CT scanned within three hours of onset of symptoms. The role of the team is to stabilise the patient medically, intensively observe the patient, provide respiratory care as required, carry out initial physiotherapy / occupational therapy / speech and language therapy assessments. An early (within 7 days) decision is made within the team as to the most appropriate input for the patient; Discharge home with or without community follow up or support, fast stream rehabilitation, slow stream rehabilitation, continuing care or palliative care. After this decision has been made, if rehabilitation is required this process is started on the unit with all the therapists involved. LOCATION We are situated on Ward 14 at the Freeman Hospital. Clinical Area We have a small treatment room on the ward, with a desk, plinth, adjustable height table and basic equipment. Learning Resources There is a resource file for students kept in our room, as well as the resource file belonging to the Senior 1 physio. There is also access to the Freeman Hospital library. Telephone Number extn Address daniel.harvey@nuth.nhs.uk WORK PATTERNS The hours of work are Monday Friday. The work is ward based and therefore a flexible pattern of work is essential. 4
5 Due to the heavily dependent state of many patients following stroke it is necessary to work in pairs and sometimes even more. As the placement progresses students will be expected to lead a treatment session with a patient using a senior physiotherapist as an assistant. SOURCES OF REFERRALS All patients, following a stroke, are assessed by a physiotherapist, unless they are rapidly deteriorating and expected to die in the near future. STAFFING PHYSIOTHERAPISTS Senior 1 Senior 2 Assistant (TI) ½ time Care of the Elderly Team Leader as required covering absence. EDUCATORS Daniel Harvey Julia Moffat CONSULTANTS There are four dedicated stroke consultants who rotate onto the unit on a monthly basis: Professor Ford Dr Louw Dr Davis Dr Dyker 5
6 PLACEMENT INFORMATION On day one you will be orientated to the unit environment, then you will spend the majority of the day shadowing and assisting your clinical educator. Some degree of patient handling (not advanced facilitation), and moving and handling skills are expected (e.g. use of hoists). Toward the end of the day your clinical educator will go through the elements of an acute stroke assessment, and hopefully you will have had the opportunity to observe a new assessment during the day. On day two you will be expected to carry out a supervised assessment of a patient. Depending on previous experience and confidence, this may be an existing patient, or a new patient. You will then be expected to write up the assessment and produce a Problem, Impairment, Plan analysis (the format for this will be explained on the first day). On day three you will treat the previous day s patient under supervision, and assess another new patient. As far as it is possible with the nature of the patients we will try to build up an individual caseload for you, however there will still be a lot of work in pairs with other senior physiotherapists. You can expect to assess a new patient most days. As your confidence and skill improves you will be less closely supervised, but again due to the heavy nature of work in stroke there is often requirement to use your clinical educator as an assistant. By the third and fourth weeks of the placement you will be expected to take the lead and direct the session fully, with little or no reference to the educator for advice. There are twice weekly MDT meetings, where you will be expected to contribute in terms of discussing the patients that you are looking after. With a few exceptions teaching tends to be on an informal, discuss it as we find it, basis. There is an expectation that you will follow up these sessions with some reading of your own. Topics that are likely to be covered are: Outcome measures in Stroke. Basic neuro-anatomy / neuro-physiology with respect to production and control of movement. Balance assessment. Gait assessment. Pathology and risk factors relating to stroke. Pusher syndrome. The main differences in expectation for 2 nd and 3 rd year students relate to ability to handle and prioritise a caseload, and the amount of supervision required in the early phases of your placement. A basic timetable will be provided on the first day of your placement, however due to the flexible nature of ward work this will only cover things such as objective setting, midway and final assessments, and time to spend with OT and SALT. (More detailed information will be provided on your first day) 6
