It starts today #ValveWeek25 ! Successful cycle ride with @SCTSUK yesterday and a busy week ahead for @HeartValveVoice and @GlobalHeartHub

[Wil Woan @WilWoan]

Looking forward to the ride #TeamSCTS. Thanks @AmanCoonar for teaming up with @HeartValveVoice . Raising Awareness of cardiac disease is so important, especially in women. Too many women are underdiagnosed, undertreated, and unheard. Let’s change that.

@HeartValveVoice has worked to ensure the patient voice shaped this pathway from the start. Timely treatment is essential — it saves lives. This blueprint gives patients the clarity and confidence to expect the care they deserve.

NHS England publishes the Aortic Stenosis Fast Track Pathway, 8 weeks from diagnosis of severe disease to treatment! After years of campaigning by @HeartValveVoice, a major milestone in valve disease care. Now, we focus on implementation.

💔Women and Heart Disease: Bridge the Gender Gap in Healthcare 🌍

#HeartDisease is the leading cause of death in women worldwide. Yet, when it comes to cardiovascular disease, women are under-researched, under-diagnosed and under-treated. It's time to close the gap between men and women in cardiovascular healthcare.

To celebrate #InternationalWomensDay, Global Heart Hub, in partnership with @PCRonline is shining a light on the critical need for gender-specific improvements in cardiovascular care.

A massive thank you to our women & heart working group, our amazing panel of speakers and @PCRonline for this outstanding patient-centred discussion about women's heart health.

What a brilliant day! To hear @RogerBlack400 talk about @HeartValveVoice SLOW campaign and the importance of recognising symptoms will no doubt save lives. Also, thanks to @DrSarahJarvis and @theJeremyVine for their support (and the chair!) #ListeningSavesLives

[Heart Valve Voice @HeartValveVoice]

Great discussion with @RogerBlack400, @DrSarahJarvis & @theJeremyVine on heart valve disease and the lifesaving power of stethoscope checks today on @BBCRadio2. Listen to hearts, save lives! If you notice symptoms, see your doctor. It could save your life. #ListeningSavesLives.

@RogerBlack400 Great to hear that our Ambassador @RogerBlack400’s valve procedure was a success. Having worked with him at @HeartValveVoice, I’ve seen his dedication to raising awareness of heart valve disease. His journey will inspire many to take their symptoms seriously #ListeningSavesLives

@DrRaniKhatib @NHSEngland Congratulations! I look forward to catching up soon!

[Wil Woan @WilWoan]

Huge thanks to the Heart Team for their exceptional work and for raising this issue with the PM. And a special thank you to our brilliant Trustee, Lauren Deegan, who is a Structural Heart Clinical Nurse Specialist at the Hospital, for raising the work we do with the PM.

[Wil Woan @WilWoan]

🚨 Huge news for @heartvalvevoice and our patient community! Yesterday the Prime Minister met with the cardiology team at @nhsuhcw and was deeply impressed by the incredible work of their TAVI service, and also discussed using digital stethoscopes and AI to enhance pathways!

[Wil Woan @WilWoan]

At Heart Valve Voice, we’re thrilled to see high-level recognition of the impact of innovation in cardiology, as well as the work we’ve been doing to move the needle on this. This is just the start, and we’ll keep pushing the boundaries to give patients the best care possible.
