The Clinical Outcomes team at Oxford University Innovation will be supporting Prof. Nele Demeyere and her team at the 14th UK Stroke Forum conference from the 3rd to the 5th December, Telford.
The conference will allow attendees to connect with the latest in stroke care. This includes, yet not limited to:
- Vision along the pathway.
- Inflammation and stroke: from bench to bedside.
- Emergency response and pre-hospital.
- A rush of blood to the head: an update on intracerebral haemorrhage.
- Selection and management of hyperacute recanalization therapy: time to wake up!
- Sensory impairments, their effect and treatment.
- Spasticity management.
- Management and screening of atrial fibrillation.
- Frailty.
- Cognition- from assessment to management.
- Caring for carers.
- Reading more into aphasia.
- Engagement in valued activities (occupations) after stroke.
Nele and her team will be exhibiting the great work that they are involved in along with the Oxford Cognitive Screen.
Up to now, no short efficient cognitive screening tool was available that targets stroke survivors. The OCS (Oxford Cognitive Screen) can be delivered at the bedside in acute stroke, is easy to administer and score and is inclusive for patients with aphasia and neglect. It returns a visual snapshot of a patient’s cognitive profile which summarizes performance across 5 cognitive domains.
For more information on the OCS or licencing enquires, please contact the Health Outcomes team via healthoutcomes@innovation.ox.ac.uk.
