make every contact count
Patients can feel embarrassed or uncomfortable discussing health or emotional issues
following a stroke. The cards empower patients by allowing them to see and select
common
issues around stroke and then giving them “permission” to discuss difficult subjects
and
not avoid them.
This helps to make appointments more effective for the patient and the therapist and
ensures that important issues are addressed. The cards help to structure
conversations
and focus on key issues, ensuring the best use of time during an appointment.
Suitable for anyone involved in stroke rehabilitation including doctors, nurses,
physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech & language therapists.
Simple design aids cognition.
Give “permission” for conversations.
Minimise embarrassment by showing common issues.
Maximise time – focus quickly on key issues.
designed specifically for stroke patients
The cards feature simple designs to aid cognition and communication, and are divided into
4
categories, each containing cards representing common issues faced after a stroke:
At the beginning of a meeting the healthcare professional and the stroke patient both
select
picture cards from the pack that represent the things they’d like to discuss. People who
may
feel anxious or embarrassed about discussing physical and emotional issues are given
“permission” to discuss topics which they might have avoided.
Stroke Touchpoint Cards helps participants to focus on important issues, structuring the
conversation and ensure that the patient gets maximum benefit from the appointment.
Cards can be used by all health professionals working supporting stroke patients and
they
can also be used with family and friends.
