Ward training & resources
Please work through the six training videos below and related resources.
We recommend as you work through each resource you save a copy to enable use. The training takes around an hour but can be done in small chunks. Once you have completed the training and started to deliver PARAS with stroke survivors, we have provided a self-evaluation and reflection tool to enable you to develop your skills.
