‘Really thoughtfully put together as a study afternoon, enjoyable and easy to attend. Being able to gain knowledge from a range of experts was brilliant. Can see how the extra knowledge can be used in practice.’

‘I had very little knowledge about cardiac conditions before. But we are seeing more pregnant women with cardiac conditions, persistent tachycardia and shortness shortness of breath. The event was really informative and will definitely change my practice going forward. It was presented well at a level I could understand.’
