Many thanks to Caoimhe McMahan, an OT Student from University of Galway, who is currently on placement on the stroke unit. She handmade us a "Block & Box test" which can be used as an outcome measure for patients with Upper limb issues post stroke #strokerehab, @uniofgalway
Congratulations to Trish Galvin (ANP in Stroke), Evelyn Newell & Mary Harte (Physiotherapists) on successfully completing their training in Botulinum Toxin injections for spasticity management. This will make a huge difference to our patients’ rehabilitation on the unit in GUH

Many thanks to Sinead & Hilary from Mending HeArts. They provided a participatory arts programme designed to support people recovering from stroke conditions. The programme offers a space for expression, connection, and emotional wellbeing during recovery.
