Description
The Stroke Game builds and tests knowledge of patient care at each stage of the stroke journey. It helps players learn about how patients are cared for at the stages of the journey which they themselves are not directly involved in, to understand the whole journey. The Stroke Game is particularly useful when played with a multidisciplinary team who can share their experiences and knowledge from a different point of view.

How's it's played

The game is competitive and designed to accommodate between 4 to 12 players divided into two teams and last between 45 to 60 minutes. Players compete to answer a range of questions about the stroke pathway. Questions encourage discussion and debate between players, letting them share knowledge, skills and best practice. These discussions help players to learn from each other and develop a deeper understanding of patient care at each stage of the stroke journey.
