These informal sessions are an opportunity for our network members to get together (regardless of research experience) with the aim of creating a conversation on research topics #CHD #NHS

It was fabulous to be part of this day. Thank you to all our wonderful speakers and to our active attendees. It’s really encouraging to see the growing number of HCPs working to improve the psychological well-being of people with heart conditions.
