Abstract
Synopsis: There are many recommended pharmacotherapies and lifestyle
changes that are used to manage risk factors and, in turn, reduce the risk
of recurrent stroke. Although these therapies and lifestyle changes are
often initiated shortly after stroke, once patients are at home there are
challenges when sustaining the use of these therapies and lifestyle changes
over the longer term. The aim of this educational workshop is to discuss
current opportunities to manage the prevention of recurrent stroke in the
community, ensure improved communication with general practitioners
and support greater awareness of the risk of stroke. Examples of effective
interdisciplinary models of care and the importance of effective discharge
care planning and patient self-management will be covered.
