In this session, our partners at King’s College London university are keen to hear from ECHO members on how to upskill young people to talk about their heart conditions through working with scientists.

For this special session, we especially welcome parents to please join us for discussions and help shape this vital work through your invaluable insights.

The Public Engagement team at King’s College London work to bring together researchers and scientists across Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences to engage with patients and public groups to increase the relevance, impact and benefits of King’s research.
