Charlie is a recently registered nurse who has been working on the stroke unit for the last 9 months. In that time he has completed the unit’s induction programme which included STARs online training and shadowing other members of the multidisciplinary team (MDT).
The stroke unit implements multidisciplinary goal setting with all its patients and uses nominated key workers to facilitate this. Prior to being a nominated key worker Charlie has received goal-setting training and observed members of the team undertaking key worker roles. He has a named goal setting clinical supervisor who is experienced in the process and will provide him with ongoing support and guidance.
The unit also actively supports and encourages patients to undertake self practice tasks within the ward environment. As one of the key professionals in the MDT, Charlie has a pivotal role in delivering self practice.
The stroke unit recognises the importance and value of engaging people in self management early on in their rehabilitation. This case scenario will focus on patient-centred goal setting and self practice as two examples of supporting engagement in self management.
