STARS collaborates with individuals, families, and medical experts to alleviate the effects of syncope and Reflex Anoxic Seizures, and advance public and professional education on the condition. The charity also promotes research into causes, management and treatment, supporting organisations dedicated to syncope research. Key campaigns such as Take Fainting to Heart and SaFE (Syncope and Falls in the Elderly) raise awareness and drive improvements in care, particularly for vulnerable groups.
STARS Medical Advisory Committee (MAC), comprising of international experts, ensures the correct diagnosis, treatment access, and reviews and approves all STARS’ literature and strategies.
