The Stroke Strikes Fast workshop talks about the two main types of stroke, the effects a stroke could have, available therapy and ongoing research. It incorporates two group activities (that can also be run individually) which look at stroke effects and lifestyle interventions to minimise the risk of a stroke. It should provide students with general knowledge about stroke and the research done in this field, hoping to excite students about science and medicine.

Booking a Subject Spotlight

The University of Manchester’s Subject Spotlight workshops are a range of higher education subject taster workshops presented by University of Manchester PhD students. These pre-recorded digital workshops provide learners with an in-depth insight into a subject which can be studied at university. When you book a Subject Spotlight workshop you will receive everything you need to deliver this workshop in your own classroom using minimal classroom resources. To support you in delivering this workshop, you will be sent a lesson plan and a pre-recorded video presentation with clear points of where to pause the video to allow learners to complete group tasks. When delivered in full these workshops will fill approximately one lesson (~45-60 mins).
