South Eastern Trust celebrates three decades of cardiovascular research
The South Eastern Trust is marking 30 years of its contribution to EUROASPIRE, one of Europe’s leading Cardiovascular Disease prevention research programmes.
Launched in 1995, EUROASPIRE has examined how effectively Cardiovascular Disease prevention guidelines are implemented in clinical practice.
The Trust has been a longstanding contributor to EUROASPIRE, supporting the collection of important data from patients living with Coronary Heart Disease and those at high risk of developing Cardiovascular Disease.
The commitment of local patients, Researchers and Clinicians has helped build a unique international evidence base which has contributed to the development and improvement of Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation Services both locally and internationally.
South Eastern Trust, Consultant Cardiologist, Professor Patrick Donnelly said: “We are delighted to mark 30 years of EUROASPIRE and recognise the important contribution made by the South Eastern Trust.
“Over three decades, the study has provided invaluable insights into Cardiovascular Disease prevention and has helped identify opportunities to improve care and outcomes for people living with or at risk of Heart Disease.
“The involvement of our patients and staff has been central to this work and their contribution has helped strengthen our understanding of Cardiovascular health and prevention.”
As EUROASPIRE enters its fourth decade, the South Eastern Trust remains committed to supporting high-quality research which improves patient care, strengthens clinical practice and contributes to better Cardiovascular health outcomes.
The Trust would like to thank all the patients, researchers and healthcare professionals who have contributed to EUROASPIRE over the past 30 years.
Their commitment and involvement continue to make an important contribution to improving heart health for future generations.
