Provision of safe and specialized stroke care using an inter-professional learning approach: A novel stroke service improvement
Introduction: The King Abdulaziz Medical City (KAMC) in Riyadh has reconfigured stroke services by creating a novel stroke model whereby all suspected stroke patients are admitted directly to the high dependency stroke unit (HSDU) in order to provide specialized multidisciplinary care to all stroke patients. Before the launch of this new stroke model, training for all nurses is imperative to ensure they will deliver safe and specialized care.

'Time is vision' after a stroke
(University of Rochester) University of Rochester researchers studied stroke patients who experienced vision loss and found that the patients retained some visual abilities immediately after the stroke but these abilities diminished gradually and eventually disappeared permanently after approximately six months. Early intervention in the form of visual training appears to stop this gradual loss of visual processing that stroke victims may experience. It is therefore important for occipital stroke patients to receive visual training early on after a stroke.

Disciplinary power and the process of training informal carers on stroke units
This article examines the process of training informal carers on stroke units using the lens of power. Care is usually assumed as a kinship obligation but the state has long had an interest in framing the carer and caring work. Training carers in healthcare settings raises questions about the power of the state and healthcare professionals as its agents to shape expectations and practices related to the caring role. Drawing on Foucault's notion of disciplinary power, we show how disciplinary forms of power exercised in interactions between healthcare professionals and carers shape the engagement and resistance of carers in...
