Heart Failure Masterclass (Ep 2): Primary Care Diagnosis, Treatment & Why Knowledge Changes Everything

What happens when Primary Care truly understands heart failure?


In this Heart Failure Unfiltered Masterclass episode from the Pumping Marvellous Foundation, Nick Hartshorne-Evans explores how knowledge, confidence, and training in Primary Care can transform not just diagnosis—but the entire patient experience.
