Hi everyone,
My name is Alicia Handley, and I attended the Interprofessional Learning Workshop on Stroke and Depression last Friday 13/02/09. Overall, I thought the workshop was excellent and I learnt a lot. I particularly liked how much variety was incorporated into the day. With a combination of lectures, group activities, presentations and reflections from stroke victims, I remained alert and interested throughout the duration of the workshop. In reference to the group activities, I liked how each person was placed in a group with members of eight other professions. Being the only psychologist at the table encouraged me to speak up about psychology and actively apply my training to contribute to the care plan for stroke victim Dan. When the other group members spoke about their professions, I gained insight into the important roles that each profession play in acute stroke management and rehabilitation. Most importantly, I learnt that while the roles of each profession are unique, they largely complement eachother. When our group included all of these roles in Dan's care plan, we were able to produce a plan that considered not just the medical aspects of Dan's recovery, but also the physical, psychological and social aspects of his recovery.
Overall this workshop was a great educational experience. I would definitely attend another one.
Kind regards,
Alicia Handley.

Hi Everyone,
Just to let you all know.. Shannon Golding and I (4th year Speech Pathology Students) have written an article about the interprofessional learning workshop in our associations magazine. The magazine is designed to inform other speechies about important initiatives happening in our state. It was suggested that other students might like to do this as well!
It was a really great day!!!
