The website will serve as a central hub for:
– Guidance & models of care: Access the latest guidelines and best practice recommendations to improve heart failure care. The site will also host models of care to support implementation of guideline recommendations.
– Educational events: Remain up to date with upcoming webinars, local and national conferences, and heart failure training opportunities.
– Research & audit: identify ongoing research initiatives and collaborations focused on advancing the understanding and treatment of heart failure.
– Patient information: Find links to key resources to support better understanding of heart failure and its management.
Leeanne Macklin, co-ordinator of Heart Failure Hub Scotland, highlighted the importance of the updated website: “This new platform reflects our commitment to providing timely, accurate, and practical resources to support everyone involved in heart failure care. By streamlining access to guidance, education, and research, we aim to foster a national, co-ordinated and collaborative approach to improving outcomes for patients across Scotland.”
Maggie Simpson, Digital, Media & Communications committee chair added: “We’ve worked to create a site that meets the needs of our users whether you’re a clinician looking for the latest guidance, a researcher exploring current projects, or a patient looking for clear, reliable information, and we’re confident it will become a valuable resource for the heart failure community across Scotland. In addition, new content will continue to be added in the coming months, reflecting the outputs from the Hub’s subgroups and ensuring the site remains dynamic and up-to-date.”
Heart Failure Hub Scotland continues to support a network of healthcare professionals, researchers, and patients, to drive forward improvements in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of heart failure.
