Cognitive Screening and trajectories

Title: Cognitive Screening and trajectories

In this talk, I will discuss research with the Oxford Cognitive screen, including  insights on the why, what, when and how of domain-specific cognitive screening in stroke post stroke. Guided by best practice clinical guidelines, I will suggest a potential stepped framework for cognitive screening post stroke evaluating both focal and generalised cognitive changes linked to focal stoke injury against a backdrop of overall brain health, discussing differing cognitive trajectories.

Learning objectives:

After this session participants will:

• Contrast domain-specific and domain-general cognitive changes after stroke

• Understand how to screen for post stroke cognitive impairments

• Understand different post-stroke cognitive trajectories over time: recovery - stability - decline

Professor Nele Demeyere

Professor Nele Demeyere heads the Translational Neuropsychology research group at the University of Oxford. The lab’s research interests are at the interface of cognitive neuropsychology and clinical practice in stroke. Prof Demeyere started the research group as an Associate Professor in 2016, through a Stroke Association funded lectureship.

Prof Demeyere currently holds an NIHR advanced fellowship on developing a post-stroke cognitive carepathway intervention.
