Stroke Core Competencies

In 2003 the National Advisory Committee for Stroke commissioned NHS Education for Scotland (NES) to produce the “Stroke Core Competencies for Healthcare Staff” document which was launched in April 2005, see Related Documents.

“An Evaluation of the Competency Framework for Stroke”

In July 2006 NES funded the above 2 year part time project to investigate the implementation of the Stroke Core Competencies document.

Project Aims:

• Investigate the dissemination and usage of the document
• Evaluate the CHSS Introductory Course in Stroke Care alongside the Core Competencies for Stroke
• Report any recommendations to enable integration of the Core Competencies into the CHSS Introductory Course
• Explore ways of implementing the Knowledge and Skills Framework (KSF) within CPD activities
• Raise the awareness of the Core Competencies and the KSF
• Explore opportunities for on-line learning

The Year 1 report is available below which gives full details on the work undertaken on this project from July 2006 – July 2007.
