Cardiovascular webinar

Learn more about how you as a clinician can use a range of digital aids for providing care to patients with atrial fibrillation and/or hypertension - to screen or prevent deterioration and/or manage their care. Help to empower patients to take more responsibility for their cardiovascular condition

Why participate?:
Hear from clinicians across England as to how they have used an AliveCor lead 1 or lead 6 device; and how it has been adopted at scale across 120 practices in Staffordshire – with great outcomes.
Hear from a digitally enthusiastic GP how they’ve used a 14 day holter in his practice to diagnose paroxysmal AF and other cardiovascular conditions.
Learn how augmented reality apps such as Know My Beat (helping person check their pulse); and Know My Heart (helping patient diagnosed with AF understand their condition/self-care) work too.
Find out more about using interactive text messaging for blood pressure management from frontline nurses, encouraging patient-self care at home.
Get the insights on connecting and using a digital stethoscope – for a realtime consultation in a GP surgery and Care Home; and from national GP lead Dr Minal Bakhai, a junior doctor and cardiology consultant Dr Thanh Phan.

Join the live Q&A panel with Dr Minal Bakhai, Dr Ruth Chambers OBE and cardiology nurse Kevin McGibbon
