STARs (Stroke Training and Awareness Resources) Project

www.StrokeCoreCompetencies.org

In May 2007 National Education Scotland (NES) funded a 15 month part time project which has developed an e-learning resource for health and social care staff based on the Stroke Core Competencies.

The resource is available through a dedicated website and via links from other designated sources. The website consists of a series of ‘virtual’ patients – simulated clinical and personal narratives that allows users to explore and experience the many issues surrounding stroke.

The concept is to provide an additional learning tool for health and social care staff and is not in any way intended to replace existing stroke training courses. This tool also seeks to provide access to stroke training in areas where there is currently no formal or structured training available.

NES and CHSS are working in partnership with the University of Edinburgh’s Learning Technology Section who are providing the technical expertise for developing and producing the website.
