A stroke is a medical emergency — a ‘brain attack’ in which the blood supply to part of the brain is cut off — and it is one of the leading causes of death and disability in the UK. When a stroke strikes, every minute counts: the faster it is recognised and treated, the better the outcome. This course explains what a stroke is and the difference between the main types, and why acting fast makes such a difference.
It then focuses on recognition and prevention: the FAST test (Face, Arms, Speech, Time) that helps anyone spot a stroke and act, the risk factors and how to reduce the risk of stroke, and what happens after a stroke — the possible effects, the recovery journey and how to support someone through it. It is an awareness-level course for care and health workers, employers and anyone who wants to recognise a stroke and respond in the moments that matter most.
