As of Wed (29th of July) of this week SYMPACT reached a major milestone. We are halfway to the goal of 350 people with chronic heart failure sharing their experience with us.

A special mention goes to the team at Portsmouth Hospitals Trust, Cardiology Research for recruiting the 175th person into SYMPACT. But without all the hard work from all the participating sites we would never have reached this goal. In fact I think it is important to highlight that SYMPACT has kept pretty close to our original recruitment goals.

This is of course thanks to everyone with chronic heart failure who gave of their time to share their experience of living with this illness. And the research staff from University Southampton Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Solent NHS Trust, and Portsmouth Hospital Trusts.

I’m currently working on the interim analysis (Click HERE to read protocol or HERE for more information) in preparation to start the second phase of SYMPACT. If you want to help out or want to know more CONTACT us.
