Friday 16 July, 9.30am - 12.00pm

The Faculty of Public Health is delighted to host this webinar, which will feature a range of contributions from leading experts on the issue of blood pressure, looking at the global burden of disease, the work of cardiac networks, regional support available and how this all fits in with the new statutory ICS framework.
