Heart Failure Webinar: Making the best use of Echocardiography in Primary Care
Join us for the first webinar in our Heart Failure Series featuring Dr. Andrew Potter, GP Partner, cardiology and echocardiography specialist, and BSE Council Member for primary care.
About the Webinar
Echocardiography is a key tool in the investigation and management of patients with a wide range of cardiovascular disease. In recent years, increasing demands on echo services have led to increasing waiting times for this important investigation. This can lead to a delay to disease modifying treatment and referral for timely intervention. It is vital we use this important investigation appropriately.
What to Expect:
Dr. Potter will share a symptom-based approach to echocardiogram referrals, helping clinicians prioritise effectively and reduce delays in diagnosis and treatment.
After this webinar we hope the referrer will feel more confident in making timely and appropriate echo requests, ensuring our patients get the test they need, when they need it.
Key Takeaways
- When echocardiography adds the most value
- How to make timely, appropriate referrals
- Improve outcomes through better triage
Who is this webinar for: healthcare professionals, anybody working in a clinical or non-clinical role in the NHS working to improve the cardiovascular health of the population, specifically in heart failure.
