It has been a remarkable two weeks for the Jersey Heart Team. Over the last fortnight, we have had a series of moments that feel genuinely important - not just for cardiology, but for the future of healthcare, research and innovation in Jersey.
๐ซ First, we held our cardiology conference,ย โMatters of the Heartโ, bringing together key stakeholders to help map out the next five years of cardiac services for the Island. The discussions were ambitious, practical and collaborative - exactly what is needed as we continue to build a service focused on prevention, early diagnosis, innovation, research and better outcomes for patients.
๐ Second, we were delighted to see the Jersey Heart Team recognised through nominations in theย Digital Jersey Tech Awards. This recognition reflects the extraordinary work of a whole team: clinicians, physiologists, nurses, administrators, digital partners, researchers and supporters who have helped make Jersey a place where health innovation can genuinely happen.
๐ฌ And finally, we received approval forย IsleHFpEFย - Jerseyโs firstย Clinical Trial of an Investigational Medicinal Product, or CTIMP. This is a major milestone. It marks the beginning of a new chapter for clinical research in Jersey and, we hope, the start of a new medicines research industry for the Island.
None of this happens by accident. It takes vision, persistence, governance, partnership and, most importantly, a team willing to keep pushing forward.
I am incredibly proud of the Jersey Heart Team and grateful to all our colleagues, partners, patients, funders and supporters who are helping us turn ambition into reality.
