Closomat

A free CPD webinar is being held next week to educate healthcare professionals about use of adaptations as part of a rehabilitation plan for people who have been affected by stroke.

Closomat, in partnership with The OT Service, is providing the CPD session for healthcare workers via Zoom on Thursday 15th July at 11am (and repeated at 6pm).

With well over 120,000 people of all ages being affected by stroke, the accessible bathing specialist highlights, either their first or a reoccurring event, rehabilitation is key to allow survivors a chance of living their life as independently as possible.

With almost one million people in the UK currently living with the effects of stroke, it’s likely that an OT’s caseloads will feature someone who needs specialist help, Closomat states.

Post-stroke adaptations: Rehabilitation and compensation is the latest in Closomat’s OT Webinar Series, which have been attended by thousands of OTs, making them one of the most-watched group of virtual events in the healthcare sector, the company adds.

Robin Tuffley, Closomat Marketing Manager, commented: “It’s likely that most of us know someone that has suffered a stroke, such are their prevalence these days.

“With stroke survivors experiencing all manner of differing effects and limitations as a result of their stroke, implementing an individual approach is key.”

Scheduled to run for an hour, the webinar’s learning outcomes will be:

  • Reflect on use of adaptations as part of a rehabilitation plan.
  • Consider application of long-term conditions in relation to adaptations and rehabilitation.
  • Discuss adaptation considerations specific to stroke recovery and rehabilitation.

The event will also provide attendees a forum to ask questions at the end of the webinar and have them answered live by a specialist OT.

Closomat says there will be a summer break after July’s event with a schedule of future webinars in its OT series being published in the next few weeks.

Previous CPD events hosted by the bathing specialist include a session on accessible bathroom design to support independence and how to ensure dignity and independence when working with bariatric clients.

The OT Service is one of the UK’s leading occupational therapy providers specialising in the delivery of clinical services relating to neuro rehab, paediatrics, manual handling and domestic/commercial solutions, and more.
