Southampton heart team receives praise
Heart experts from Southampton were commended at the British Heart Foundation Alliance Awards.
The British Cardiovascular Society presided over the awards ceremony, which took place in Manchester. The team from University Hospitals in Southampton has 20 members and could use newsletter printing from Southampton Hedge End to celebrate the achievement.
Simon Gillespie, the chief executive at the British Heart Foundation, paid tribute to the compassion and effort of the workers. He told the Daily Echo:
The team has been in operation for seven years and consists of specialist nurses and consultant cardiologists. The individuals have cooperated to deliver an individual service on an integrated basis. The beneficiaries of this endeavour have been heart patients across West Hampshire and Southampton.
The results of all the hard work have been impressive as the outcomes for patients have exceeded reasonable expectations. After a year, the patients being assisted by the team were more likely to be alive than they would otherwise have been. In addition, the patients being treated in the new way were less likely to be back in hospital than they might otherwise have been. The provision of emergency clinics has paid off.
