This is a free program, developed for the educational benefit of the healthcare provider. Physicians, nurses and first responders may benefit from this program and its use in the everyday healthcare settting.

A consistent approach to scoring patient recovery is essential for healthcare and research purposes and is desirable for routine clinical application. This training program was prepared by Professor KR Lees in association with the Media Services Department of the University of Glasgow, with the assistance of an educational grant.
