The second site for SYMPACT officially opens to recruitment!

On January 17, University Hospitals of Southampton NHS Foundation Trust (UHS) research team were given the go ahead to invite people who attend the UHS with chronic heart failure to take part in SYMPACT. I had gone to meet their team, led by Simon Smith (pictured below), earlier in the month and was happy for them as they were excited about SYMPACT.

Within 24 hours they had two people with chronic heart failure who were interested in participating, one who had completed all the questionnaires. Looking forward to what this research team will accomplish in the months ahead! I’m grateful for the help in making SYMPACT a success and in so doing helping me ensure my PhD is successful. It is important to note that expanding SYMPACT wouldn’t be possible without the support recieved by the NIHR CRN Wessex.
