It's the PM of today's event and our third year PhD fellow @jo_mca1 is our next student presentation. Jo's project is Respiratory-themed looking at cardiac rehabilitation in South Asian communities #NIHRLeicesterBRCHalfTime @LeicResearch @wellcometrust @uniofleicester @SallySingh

With a section specific to cardiovascular disease, this is a great @NHSEngland statement supporting the collection of high quality, complete and consistent data in the journey to address health inequalities (reinforced @bacpr conference this year)
