Important research into the outcomes of heart surgery published
The Children’s Heart Federation (CHF) is excited to report on the findings of important research which highlights improving outcomes of heart surgery, and how congenital heart disease impacts on mental health as future priorities for the care and well-being of people with congenital heart disease (CHD).
A team of UK patients, parents and healthcare professionals worked with the James Lind Alliance in a national priority setting partnership to determine a set of focuses for research into CHD and CHF trustees participated in the initial planning stages. CHF was also responsible for recruiting parents to take part in the survey, their input will help with future planning to create the best possible outcomes and quality of life for children born with heart conditions.
