Congenital Heart Disease | Acute Presentations in Adult Congenital Heart Disease



This session is aimed at all NHS clinical staff who are not specialists in this subject but may meet acutely unwell adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD) within their field of practice.
Although congenital heart disease (CHD) is a specialised subject, these patients will interact with all other areas of the NHS throughout their lifetime. It is therefore important that all NHS staff are aware of the implications of CHD. All staff need to know when to seek expert advice and how to do that.
This session will be of particular benefit to staff working within primary care and acute care settings.

- appreciate the significance of complex congenital heart conditions in the acutely unwell patient
