15. Women’s Health

Welcome to the new HEARTe15: Women’s Heart Health eLearning resource.

Chest Heart and Stroke Scotland (CHSS) are pleased to launch a new HEARTe Women’s Health eLearning resource: HEARTe15: Women’s Heart Health. This new module has been created by a range of health care professionals with experience, expertise and overall interest in women’s heart health.

The purpose of this free online module is to provide an educational resource with a specific focus on women’s heart health. This is a unique module as it is the first CHSS eLearning resource aimed at both health care professionals and those with lived experience audiences.

In developing this new HEARTe module consideration has been given to:

• the style of writing that aims to be as accessible and inclusive as possible
• providing an enjoyable way of learning, utilising a range of both text and interactives to improve users understanding of women’s heart health
• ensuring content is evidence based and up to date
• signposting to further information and support across Scotland

The CHSS Women’s HEARTe Module Development Group and the CHSS Women’s Health Steering Group hope you find this new HEARTe Module 15: Women’s Heart Health resource informative and enjoyable.
