European Survey of Cardiovascular Disease Prevention, Diabetes and Chronic Kidney Disease

 

The cardiology team in Galway University Hospitals in collaboration with the National Institute for Prevention and Cardiovascular Health are taking part in EUROASPIRE VI – a European survey of cardiovascular disease prevention, diabetes and chronic kidney disease. The results of this survey will help us to understand how well we are managing people living with these conditions and to improve the care that we provide.

Please note: Appointments in Galway will be available only on 8th and 9th of September.
