Policy and Media Committee

The Policy and Media Committee (P&MC) is set up to deliver the external affairs strategy for the BSH to ensure heart failure is on the agenda at a national level. The Committee coordinates the BSH response to national guidelines and technology appraisals and is involved in advocacy and stakeholder engagement, and the media and social media outreach for BSH heart failure awareness campaigns.
