Very pleased to share this case study from NICE. Cardiomems in action
“It’s difficult to put into words how grateful I am for this technology. It’s given me peace of mind and helped keep me out of hospital.”
Recommended by NICE, learn how this heart failure monitor helps people like Leslie manage their condition from home: indepth.nice.org.uk/LesliesS…

When something looks even better than you envisaged, it’s a great start to the day @UHSFT
Thanks to @UkHeartbeat for supporting this project, inspired by overhearing a patient being wheeled into our labs and saying they had no idea what happens behind those doors…

A ground-breaking collection of 3D printed hearts has been unveiled at UHS. 🏥 🤍
Exact replicas of real patient hearts, they're crafted from CT and MRI scans.
Possibly the only one of its kind, the collection helps surgeons plan complex procedures with greater precision ✨

Great to have more sites opening. And more patients randomised. Onwards and upwards.
The BRITISH study is now open and recruiting patients at three more sites!

Much of CGM life can feel like listening, planning and emails but every now and again, a pacemaker penguin visits your desk. A lovely initiative from @Medtronic to support our younger patients who are having a device fitted
@Uhs_Cardiac at the forefront of ideas! @JoeTeape
