Training in valve disease

Informal teaching with valve consultants and involvement in valve clinic – following up patients with valve implants/replacements

Process
Weekly valve MDT.  Links with all cardiac services. One-stop echo not currently  available.  Patient information leaflets supplied and performs patient satisfaction surveys and audits
