Cardiology icons 5: Mike Martin on interventional cardiology training and quality improvement
Message our hosts, Kieran and Jose.
Season 3 of The Animal Heartbeat is all about the Veterinary Cardiology Icons - those who walk among us as legends of the veterinary cardiology world.
This fifth edition of the Icons series features Mike Martin, RCVS Diplomate in Veterinary Cardiology who founded the first private cardiology specialist practice in the UK and pioneered cardiac interventions in Europe. Mike learned from human paediatric cardiologists and refined the skillset of his team to become a world-leader in canine cardiac minimally invasive surgery.
Over recent years, Mike has developed a strategy for the training of interventional procedures in the UK and abroad, and has developed a particular interest in clinical audit techniques to improve patient safety.
Join our hosts, Jose and Kieran, as they discuss Mike's experience of how best to develop a new interventional centre, and why we should be using a centralised audit process to help improve patient safety in cardiac surgery.
