This is so good, why?
➡️ Equity: It creates a pipeline of researchers rather than a funnel with only 1-2 Professor Roles for underserved groups such as nurses, allied health etc.
➡️ Translation: 60% of healthcare is underpinned by high-quality evidence, this would improve this

🚨 New Global Report Calls for Urgent Action to improve the Care Pathway for Women with Heart Valve Disease (HVD)

Global Heart Hub is delighted to launch a global consensus report Shaping the Future for Women with Heart Valve Disease, revealing critical gaps in the diagnosis, treatment, and long-term care of women living with HVD. Despite being recognised as the next cardiac epidemic, sex and gender differences in HVD are still being overlooked. This international consensus report, developed with input from 22 experts across 13 countries, outlines six key actions to close the gender gap, from improving research inclusion to strengthening clinician education and access to diagnostics.

💬 “This report marks a critical turning point. It shines a spotlight on the gender-specific barriers women face throughout the HVD care journey, from awareness and detection to diagnosis, treatment, and long-term follow-up”, says Ellen Ross, Chair of the Heart Valve Disease Patient Council.
