This project evaluated current practices within a Volunteer Stroke Scheme (VSS) and identified key areas for improvement. A subsequent training program was developed and its outcomes were assessed in real-world activities.

Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation science
  • Community health programs
  • Volunteer engagement in healthcare

Background:

  • Volunteer Stroke Schemes (VSS) play a crucial role in post-stroke support.
  • Assessing and improving VSS practices is essential for effective patient care.
  • Identifying specific gaps in current VSS activities is a prerequisite for targeted interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the existing practices of a local Volunteer Stroke Scheme (VSS).
  • To identify specific gaps in the VSS's current service delivery.
  • To develop and evaluate a training program based on identified practice gaps.

Main Methods:

  • Multi-strand project involving evaluation of current practices.
  • Identification of deficiencies and areas for enhancement within the VSS.

  • Development of a targeted training program.
  • Post-training evaluation of volunteer activities and patient outcomes.

    • Main Results:

    • Current VSS practices were systematically evaluated.
    • Specific gaps in service provision and training needs were identified.
    • A training program was developed and implemented based on identified needs.
    • The impact of the training on subsequent volunteer activities was assessed.

    Conclusions:

    • The project successfully evaluated VSS practices and identified critical areas for improvement.
    • A targeted training program effectively addressed identified gaps.
    • The evaluation demonstrated the positive outcomes of the training on volunteer activities and potentially patient support.
