Research in PAD suffers from poor reporting and wide heterogeneity of endpoints. To tackle this massive issue, we are developing Core Outcome Sets for PAD. We need your help by completing this Delphi survey. Scan the QR code or click the direct link. lnkd.in/exkE5a86

Reported outcomes in studies of intermittent claudication - first step toward a core outcome set: systematic review ➡️doi.org/10.1093/bjsope… This review shows the substantial heterogeneity, lack of use of PROMs, and wide variations of reported outcomes in research of people with intermittent claudication and demonstrates the need for a core outcome set for research in intermittent claudication.

Research in PAD suffers from wide heterogeneity of outcomes making comparison and pooling data very challenging and in certain instances impossible! Our latest systematic review of studies in intermittent claudication highlights this massive issue! academic.oup.com/bjsopen/articl…

If you are a Healthcare professional working with patients with Peripheral Artery Disease, you can help us improving the research in PAD by participating in a focus group as part of developing Core Outcome Sets in PAD.

@VictoriaAtkins Can you explain to the public why newly graduated GPs cannot find jobs while there are severe shortages of GPs! The primary care is so underfunded the GP surgeries suffering from GP shortage cannot appoint GPs! What a tragic joke!!

We are bringing your healthcare closer to home. A Conservative Government would: ✅ Build or modernise 250 GP surgeries. ✅ Expand Pharmacy First to free up a total 20 million GP appointments. ✅ Build 50 new Community Diagnostic Centres.
