Concise guidelines for stroke management
The Stroke Foundation has developed concise versions of the Clinical Guidelines for Stroke Management. These discipline-specific summary recommendations are designed to help health professionals implement those aspects of the guidelines directly related to their discipline.
- Concise Guidelines for Dietetics (PDF 821 KB)
- Concise Guidelines for General Practitioners (PDF 839 KB)
- Concise Guidelines for Nursing (PDF 955 KB)
- Concise Guidelines for Occupational Therapy (PDF 870 KB)
- Concise Guidelines for Physiotherapy (PDF 846 KB)
- Concise Guidelines for Psychology (PDF 901 KB)
- Concise Guidelines for Social Work (PDF 851 KB)
- Concise Guidelines for Speech Pathology (PDF 879 KB)
While the summaries focus on a specific discipline, stroke care is most effective when all members of the team work in an interdisciplinary and coordinated way.
Important caveats to the recommendations are included in the preamble to each section in the Clinical Guidelines for Stroke Managment 2010. Please refer to the full guidelines for more detail and the specific research that underpins the recommendations and the designated NHMRC grades of evidence for each recommendation.
