Join us for our first members’ health event of 2016

Today’s research is tomorrow’s medicine

Join us for our first health event of 2016 on Thursday 26th May at 7pm at Wrexham Medical Institute, 
Wrexham Technology Park, LL13 7YP.

Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital is a centre of excellence for research and innovation and Ian Kemp, Research Nurse at LHCH will discuss the importance of research and the impact that this has in delivering patient care for the future. Learn what research is, how this is used in healthcare 
and hear about some of the cutting edge research trials that have been undertaken by LHCH. In 2014, LHCH researchers completed the major ‘HEAT PPCI’

study which claimed that routine use of heparin rather than bivalirudin could improve outcomes for heart attack patients, while at the same 
time significantly reducing costs for healthcare organisations globally. 
Researchers at LHCH believe this was the largest single-centre trial (HEAT

PPCI) ever undertaken in cardiovascular medicine and the impact could make considerable cost savings worldwide. Find out more about this ground 
breaking study and forthcoming 
research studies. 

Keith Wilson is the country’s 
first dedicated Research Patient 
Ambassador and is based at LHCH and will talk about his unique role in ensuring that patients’ views are not overlooked and are heard in relation to research studies.
