This year, on Saturday, March 23rd, Heart Valve Voice will hold a National Patient Day at the Birmingham Repertory Theatre Centenary Square. The day will be an opportunity for heart valve disease patients to come together from across the UK to learn, share and inspire one another.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, this event has been postponed and will now take place in June. Email info@heartvalvevoice.com for more information.
Our National Patient Day will occur at Birmingham Repertory Theatre and will be the biggest gathering of UK heart valve disease patients ever. It's free to attend. So, complete the form at the bottom of the page or email info@heartvalvevoice.com with your name, postcode and a summary of your valve disease experience, and a team member will get in touch.
On the day, we will have expert speakers from across the valve disease pathway, with clinicians, advocacy experts, MPs, global opinion leaders, celebrities and more.
Attendees will have the opportunity to share their experiences and learn how they and others can use their experience to improve the future treatment and care of heart valve disease.
The event will run from 12 pm until 3 pm, with light refreshments.
