Welcome to the start of the British Society for Heart Failure’s 28th Annual Meeting!
Registration is now open in the Fleming Room at the QEII Centre, London.
We’re thrilled to be bringing together over 800 healthcare professionals, including consultants, nurses, GPs, physiologists, and allied health specialists - for two inspiring days of discussion, discovery, and collaboration in heart failure.
This year’s theme: Prevent Today, Thrive Tomorrow. An opportunity to network, learn, and share the latest innovation, education, and research in heart failure care. #BSHAM25 #25in25

British Society for Heart Failure responds to the British Geriatrics Society Clinical Guide, ‘Pragmatic prescribing to reduce harm for older people with moderate to severe frailty’ saying it is not supported by current evidence.

Shocking shocking data - lack of prescribing of #SGLT2i that prevent #progression of #KidneyDisease, reduce risk of #death, improve #heartfailure
Need to address barriers

Today marks the start of @escardio #HeartFailure awareness week. I urge @WGHealthandCare @Eluned_Morgan @PrifWeinidog @AndrewRTDavies to work together to make #HF a national priority, as this treatable condition has worse outcomes than some cancers. Symptoms? See you GP ASAP!

Distress warning…
This was Kenneth Shadbolt’s last phone call before he died waiting 5hrs for an ambulance
There was no strike that day
Just a chronically underfunded NHS and ambulance service.
Don’t let the liars tell you otherwise.

Dear British Press,
There is nothing in Prince Harry’s autobiography as scandalous as the implosion of our NHS.
So please report on the things which are actually important
Thanks

This photo is amazing. Here are the forms that nursing teams need to fill out for each patient on admission. Ask Joe Public what they want their nurses doing and it defo won’t be this! NUTS

Is it a wonder that there has been an increase in #heartfailure deaths. People have not been able to get their regular appointments and many services for Heart Failure melted away during the Pandemic. We saw this in our Community of heart failure patients.

I’ve worked in A&E for 22 years & seen nothing like this before.
The NHS is in a critical state. We need urgent action for sake of our staff & patients.
@SteveBarclay @RishiSunak we need you to listen to those who know what’s happening.
To get them to listen, pls retweet
