Infos

There is a continuing need for education about stroke and its
management, both in acute and chronic stages. This book aims to
facilitate interdisciplinary cooperation, which is essential if
rehabilitation programmes are to be optimally effective. Any
collaborative enterprise is heavily dependent upon the relationship
that develops between the participants. Here a group of health care
professionals give their own perspective on the daily problems they
encounter and the specific skills involved in dealing with these
problems.

Written in an informative and accessible style, this book will
help professionals involved in the management of stroke to
understand the role of other members of the rehabilitation team,
and hence provide coordinated care for the patient.

Robert Fawcus is a Consultant Speech and Language Therapist at
the Nuffield Hospital, Tunbridge Wells and was formerly Professor
of Clinical Communication Studies at City University, London.
