PH researchers from around the UK gathered in early November to share study findings, learn from each other’s work, and look to the future together…

Held at the Chelsea Physic Garden in London, the annual PH Research Forum brings together people working in important and wide-ranging areas of pulmonary hypertension research.

The event is now organised by the PHA UK, and it’s also attended by clinicians and nurses from specialist centres - who are keen to learn more about developments in research.

The studies presented by researchers covered topics including persistence with prostanoid (IV) therapy, addressing delayed diagnosis, artificial intelligence, surgical outcomes, exercise testing, inflammation in PH, and much more.

PHA UK Chair Iain Armstrong also gave a thought-provoking talk about quality of life and showed extracts from videos produced with PHA UK members.  

The Alan Greenhalgh Award was given to the presentation voted ‘best of the event’ by delegates. Awarded in memory of research nurse Alan, who died earlier this year, the £1,000 grant was won by Renzi Su of Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital for his presentation titled ‘Gene Ontology Curation and Multiomics Analysis in PH’.
