LEAD: Nursing Perspective in Specialized Stroke Care and Management is a nursing workshop scheduled for 6 December 2026, from 08:00 to 17:00, in Auditorium 1, Deanship of Postgraduate Education Building, King Abdulaziz Medical City, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. It is announced by Continuing Professional Development at the KSAU-HS Deanship of Postgraduate Education in Jeddah, under the Ministry of National Guard Health Affairs.
Educational objectives
The workshop focuses on the nursing knowledge and integrated clinical skills involved in specialised stroke care. Its first objective is to summarise the basic and integrated skills and knowledge needed for stroke care and management. A second objective addresses early recognition, assessment and treatment of stroke in an acute setting.
The published objectives connect advanced neurological assessment with rapid clinical decision-making and escalation protocols. The assessment tools explicitly named by the organiser are the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and pupillary evaluation. These are presented within the workshop's stroke-care objectives rather than as separate certified courses.
Evidence-based nursing practice is another focus. Participants are expected to relate evidence-based practice to advanced skills and knowledge in stroke care. The programme also aims to provide guidance for multidisciplinary collaboration in managing people with stroke, recognising that nursing practice forms part of a broader care pathway involving other clinical professions.
A final objective is to apply critical thinking when providing comprehensive nursing care for stroke patients. The workshop's stated scope therefore combines timely recognition, neurological assessment, escalation, teamwork and comprehensive patient care. No detailed lecture-by-lecture timetable has been published with the announcement, so these learning objectives are not presented as confirmed session titles.
Audience, fees and registration
The advertised target audience is nurses, nursing technicians and nursing students. Attendance is free for MNGHA participants; the flyer lists SAR 100 for non-MNGHA participants. These are distinct eligibility categories, not a universally free workshop.
The organiser directs participants to the KSAU-HS events portal for online registration and payment. An exact public registration page could not be confirmed. Enquiries can be made to Jowaniw@ksau-hs.edu.sa or 012 22 45048. No named instructors, sponsors, abstract call or separate workshop products are published in the announcement; no such information has been inferred.
