Meeting (1)

Heart Failure Policy Network (HFPN) team, Ed Harding & Kirsten Budig proposed an EP event to launch the European Heart Failure Mission campaign to ensure greater political recognition for heart failure at EU level. The office was, in principle, open to hosting, but the HFPN later decided against running the event in Jun/Jul. The team also presented the idea of writing to Micheal Martin, former Taoiseach of Ireland to be a patron to the HFPN.
