After years of being kept apart thanks to COVID-19, it felt extra special to welcome patients, loved ones and healthcare professionals to our first ever ‘Together’ event in October 2023.
Held in partnership with the Sheffield Pulmonary Vascular Disease Unit, the gathering was open to anyone cared for by the team at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital.
Expert talks throughout the day covered topics including treatments, research, nutrition, and physical activity - with a focus on empowering patients and their loved ones through developing knowledge and understanding.
Those in attendance were also able to give feedback to their specialist centre and discuss improvements and plans for the future.
The event was a valuable opportunity to meet others affected by PH, and many new friendships were formed.
