About Emma & Julie

We are both experienced clinicians with a passion for quality rehabilitation. We are also long-time friends, who met working together on the Acute Stroke Team at Palmerston North Hospital over ten years ago. Our work and travels have taken us to the UK (Julie) and Ireland (Emma) for several years, with many adventures together along the way - often in a campervan! We hope that by sharing our knowledge and our ‘toolbox’ of practical strategies we can help you to implement best practice in your setting, to improve quality of life and provide enabling care to stroke survivors. 

Cost:

Includes course materials, morning & afternoon tea, and lunch.
