The new on-line training resource was launched nationally on 17 March 2010 at the West of Scotland Stroke Masterclass at Wishaw General Hospital. 

The training resource for stroke thrombolysis – the thrombolysis masterclass (http://www.strokeadvancingmodules.org/labyrinth_thrombo/ ). This is open access, no registration is required and there are no associated costs.  It has been developed as part of the STARS on line training programme in Scotland ( http://www.stroketraining.org/ )

This Masterclass is aimed at senior clinical staff who are involved in making the decision to treat stroke patients with thrombolysis. The module consists of a series of virtual patient scenarios which focus on the patient history, examination and imaging. The clinician is asked to decide what treatment options they would choose and have the opportunity to compare their treatment decisions with selected experts and other clinicians who have completed the cases.

Less experienced clinicians may wish to familiarize themselves with the area by first accessing the Thrombolysis Advancing Module<http://www.strokeadvancingmodules.org/node.asp?id=thrombolysis>.
