Join us for the upcoming – DaRe2THINK Webinar:

Can focused education for healthcare professionals improve the care of patients with atrial fibrillation?

This talk is part of a series hosted by the DaRe2THINK trial to provide information to allied healthcare professionals and general practice staff across the UK.

Speaker: Dr Karina V Bunting PhD MSc BSc

Dr Karina V Bunting is a research fellow at the University of Birmingham and a highly specialised cardiac physiologist in echocardiography at the University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust. Her work focusses on improving the assessment of heart function in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Dr Bunting has a wider interest in improving the management of patients with atrial fibrillation and heart failure which began as the research fellow for the RATE-AF trial (recently published in a top medical journal) . She has collaborated with leaders in heart failure and atrial fibrillation, including the Beta-blocker and heart failure collaborative group and more recently helping coordinate the European Society of Cardiology funded Stroke prevention and rhythm control Therapy: Evaluation of an Educational Programme of the European society of cardiology in a cluster-Randomised trial in patients with Atrial Fibrillation (STEEER-AF) trial.

DaRe2THINK

This webinar is hosted by DaRe2THINK, a primary care clinical trial sponsored by the NIHR, University of Birmingham and University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust.

DaRe2THINK is a transformational project that will test a new way of running clinical trials at General Practices in the NHS. The trial will use health information already collected in the NHS to reduce the time taken for research, both for the patients and NHS staff. This will allow the NHS to reach new and larger groups of patients that could benefit from new treatments opening the possibility of research to populations that would not have previously taken part.
