It was fabulous to be part of this day. Thank you to all our wonderful speakers and to our active attendees. It’s really encouraging to see the growing number of HCPs working to improve the psychological well-being of people with heart conditions.
Fantastic start to our @CHDNetworkSWSW Psychology Study Day with excellent speakers and over 50 professionals, representing our South Wales and South West region and other regions across the UK! #NHS #CollaborativeWorking #LearningTogether #CHD
