On the 10th of February Heart Valve Voice is holding a patient engagement day in our Manchester offices. We invited members of the Patient Action Group to join us to discuss our pledges and actions for 2020 and how we can represent our patients most effectively.

Having set out our list of pledges for 2020 in my previous blog it is now down to us to turn those pledges into reality. January presented me with two opportunities to not only talk with clinicians and industry leaders about their plans for the year ahead but also develop our own strategies based on these discussions. 

Last week we were delighted to host a roundtable discussion with clinicians and industry leaders at Health Innovation Manchester, Citylabs. Health Innovation Manchester strive to deliver innovation into frontline care and are committed to transforming the health and wellbeing of Greater Manchester’s citizens.

As we begin the New year and World Heart Month has just started there is so much we can reflect on and be very proud of.

In response to research published in the British Medical Journal Heart Valve Voice would like to emphasise our commitment to transparency when it comes to donations from industry.

Hull University Teaching Hospital NHS Trust had its first year of administrating TAVI to patients in the region of Hull and East Yorkshire. Mr David Morris, 86, received the first TAVI in March of 2019 under Dr Raj Chelliah, Consultant Cardiologist, and his team.
