Learn more about pre-hospital care with Harefield Hospital

The ninth Harefield Primary Angioplasty Live will be focussing on pre-hospital care on the first day of the event, which will be particularly relevant for ambulance clinicians.

Harefield, near Heathrow, has a dedicated heart attack centre, providing primary angioplasty in their specialist catheter laboratories.

Their annual conference, from 6^th – 8^th October, is structured to follow the patient journey through from the onset of chest pain all the way to discharge rehabilitation, follow up and maintaining secondary prevention during the three-day event.

The first day, entitled ‘Getting it right in the field’ will feature a live catheter laboratory case with a consultant cardiologist, a talk on modern technology in primary angioplasty and a debate on whether patients should head straight to the lab after having a cardiac arrest out of hospital with return of spontaneous circulation.

The event will be held at Harefield Hospital, Hill End Road, Harefield, Middlesex, UB9 6JH.
