Regional Outreach & National Collaboration
This event is part of a broader initiative to advance acute aortic dissection care across the UK. Similar sessions have been delivered in the South East, South West, North West, Wales, and the Isle of Man, supporting the rollout of the NHS Acute Aortic Dissection Toolkit. These collaborative efforts continue to equip healthcare teams with the tools and knowledge to enhance outcomes and streamline care for patients with aortic dissection.
