TIA and stroke management: practice review

Stroke is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality among Australians. Due to your accessibility as a primary care provider, GPs are often in a prime position to recognise the signs of a transient ischaemic attack (TIA) or acute stroke. 

This interactive eLearning course has been created to improve the skills of GPs in recognising, diagnosing, and managing patients presenting with stroke or TIA symptoms in a timely manner. 

Using online educational presentations, case studies, interactive quizzes, and links to further reading, you will be equipped to:

  • describe the typical pattern of onset for a stroke including typical features that may present to general practice

  • outline the appropriate management for a patient who presents with symptoms of an acute stroke

  • describe the immediate treatment plan for a patient who has had a confirmed acute stroke event 

  • understand the immediate treatment priorities following a confirmed stroke event

  • apply current guidelines to post-stroke care, including risk factor modification and secondary prevention

 

Delivered by experienced clinical educator Simon Morgan, this eLearning course is self-paced and can be accessed at your convenience. 

 

This is a Medcast Continuing Medical Education (CME) course.
