The PHGPS Data Dashboard is now live 🌍🎉

Nearly 4,000 patients and carers across 90 countries took part in the first Pulmonary Hypertension Global Patient Survey (PHGPS), sharing their experiences of diagnosis, treatment, access to care, daily life, work, and emotional wellbeing.

You can now explore key findings through the new interactive PHGPS Data Dashboard!

The dashboard can help patient associations, clinicians, researchers, advocates, and decision-makers:

✅️ identify gaps in care
✅️ recognise shared challenges
✅️ support local advocacy and education
✅️ inform research, planning, and service improvement

❓ Have a current or past complex PH case that would benefit from wider discussion?

Today we’re launching Global PH Consult 🌍🎉

This new, free online service from PVRI’s Access to Care Workstream gives clinicians around the world a space to bring anonymised complex PH cases for discussion with a tailored panel of PH specialists.

If your case is selected, you’ll:
▪️meet with a tailored PH panel before the webinar
▪️join a live 60-minute case discussion
▪️hear specialist perspectives relevant to your case
▪️contribute to shared learning across the global PH community

Global PH Consult is open to clinicians everywhere, with a primary focus on supporting those in low and middle-income countries (LMICs).
