Events for patients and the public

This one-day meeting focuses on understanding the heart transplant recipients' journey through rehabilitation and optimizing exercise capacity, alongside the potential for involvement in transplant sport.

It is open to early career researchers and postgraduate research students with an interest in exercise rehabilitation and transplant sport, physiologists, cardiac care professionals, rehabilitation scientists, sport and exercise scientists, practitioners volunteering and supporting competitors at national and international transplant events as well as heart recipients themselves.

The aims of this meeting are;

1. to present state-of-the-art research talks from leading UK researchers and practitioners on the topics of the reasons for heart transplants and patient rehabilitation and
2. the development of exercise and sport in the heart transplant recipient population,
3. to enable a forum for knowledge exchange between primary health and applied practitioners involved in the heart recipient journey, and
4. to provide a rich and stimulating environment for future research collaborations to be developed.
