For Professionals

The Toronto Stroke Networks (TSNs) lead and coordinate the adoption of stroke best practices across the system of care.  In collaboration with regional partners, the TSNs have developed a sustainable Knowledge Translation (KT) strategy that supports cross-system collaboration and strengthens relationships and trust leading to system integration.  For the front-line provider, there are numerous resources to support development of stroke knowledge and expertise, and to provide education to persons with stroke and their families.

 

Orientation to Stroke Care in Toronto

The Orientation to Stroke Care in Toronto resource has been created for all new staff working in stroke care.

Objectives of this resource are to:

  • Enhance knowledge of the stroke system of care in Toronto.
  • Increase understanding of the Toronto Stroke Networks’ (TSNs’) function and initiatives in supporting best practice stroke care.
  • Raise awareness of educational opportunities and resources to support clinical practice.

The orientation resource is located within the Toronto Stroke Networks’ Virtual Community of Practice (TSNs VCoP).  If you are a TSNs VCoP member, click here to access this resource.  If you are not yet a member, please go to www.strokecommunity.ca.
