STARS works with individuals, families and medical professionals to offer support and information on syncope and reflex anoxic seizures.

The overall aim of the charity is to ensure that anyone presenting with unexplained loss of consciousness receives the correct diagnosis, the appropriate treatment, informed support and sign posting to the appropriate medical professional.

STARS also aims to:

• advance the education of the medical profession and the general public on the subject of syncope and Reflex Anoxic Seizures and its implications for the individual and family
• promote research into the management of syncope and Reflex Anoxic Seizures and to publish the useful results thereof and to support organisations promoting research into syncope and Reflex Anoxic Seizures

STARS has brought together experts from every field – healthcare professionals, allied professionals, geriatricians – to make sure that correct diagnosis is given and access to effective treatment and support.

STARS Medical Advisory Committee (MAC) is pivotal to our work. The committee is made up of a panel of international medical experts who act as an advisory, support and management committee for STARS, as well as advisory on all our literature.
