💙 What a fantastic morning at STARS Patients Day!
Today’s sessions have brought together patients, caregivers and experts for important conversations about syncope, fainting, and the challenges of navigating care.
From exploring how STARS continues to evolve and how patients can advocate for their health, to the latest developments in tilt-testing and the role of AI in syncope care, we have covered a wide range of topics that matter to people living with these conditions.
We have also shone a light on psychogenic syncope, the faints and falls that can go undetected, and the physical and psychological impact of syncope on patients and their families.
There have been some brilliant questions, thoughtful discussions and valuable opportunities to share perspectives. These conversations reinforce why listening to patients, recognising their experiences and helping them access the right support are so important.
A huge thank you to all our speakers for sharing their knowledge and insights, and to our session Chairs: Prof Richard Sutton and Prof Robert Sheldon for helping create a supportive space where patients and caregivers can ask questions, feel heard and learn from one another.
And there more to come! We are looking forward to the next sessions, further discussion and continuing to explore how we can improve understanding, support and care for everyone affected by syncope.
Because every experience matters, every question deserves space, and no one should have to navigate syncope alone.
