Chest, Heart & Stroke Scotland recognises the importance of education and training in chest, heart and stroke illness.

Education And Training

Education and training are taking on an increasingly important role for Chest, Heart & Stroke Scotland (CHSS), not only in activities geared towards prevention but also in the improvement of health care and the development of new care initiatives.

CHSS Training Courses

In the field of stroke, CHSS has a team of Stroke Training Co-ordinators who develop, plan and deliver training for health and social care professionals and informal carers. The courses aim to improve knowledge, skills and confidence in relation to stroke care. The training is available in:

STARS Project

Stroke Training and Awareness Resources (STARS)

This project developed an e-learning resource to provide a learning tool for health and social care staff to enable them to become more knowledgeable and skilful in the challenging area of stroke care. The resource is based on the Stroke Core Competencies which were published by NHS Education for Scotland (NES) in 2005.

It is now available at www.strokecorecompetencies.org

Study Resources

CHSS have developed general, chest, heart and stroke resources to assist with undertaking study.
