By joining Chest Heart and Stroke Scotland (CHSS) as a Regional Lead Stroke Nurse you can be the difference between people just surviving and really living.
You will be part of Scotland’s leading health charity providing support to people with chest, heart and stroke conditions and Long Covid to live life to the full again.
