The Western Health and Social Care Trust, alongside the Northern Ireland Centre for Stratified Medicine at Ulster University, today launched a new cardiovascular patient and public involvement (PPI) research group based in the C-TRIC building at Altnagelvin Hospital in Derry.
.
The new group will allow patients with cardiovascular disease to find out more about their disease.
Cardiology patients and their families attended the event, alongside local charities, Northern Ireland Chest, Heart and Stroke and LivewiresNI.
The event coincided with a two-day work experience workshop for students from across Northern Ireland and Donegal, some of who hope to study Stratified Medicine at Ulster University next year.
