Cardiac Listening Events - Your opinion is important to
us.
As part of our ongoing conversation with families we have now
run two Listening events, the first in Gloucester on Wednesday 22nd
March in partnership with Heart Children Gloucestershire and the
second on Monday 15th May in Exeter alongside Heart Families South
West. These events provided an opportunity for families who have
used, are using or planning to use our cardiac services, to
talk to our staff about their experiences and to tell us what would
make it better. View the newsletters from these events:
