BEAT Heart Failure: Why Primary Care Holds the Key

Is Primary Care under-involved in heart failure — or under-enabled?

In this episode of Heart Failure Unfiltered, Nick Hartshorne-Evans CEO of the Pumping Marvellous Foundation, explores one of the biggest opportunities in NHS cardiovascular care:

👉 Unlocking the power of Primary Care in heart failure management.

We ask the real questions:

What makes heart failure difficult to manage outside secondary care?

Is the barrier knowledge, time, confidence — or system design?

What signals from patients are being missed?

What does it actually mean for Primary Care to “champion” heart failure?

And most importantly:

What would make GPs feel confident — not cautious — aboutmanaging heart failure?

💡 What this episode covers:

The role of Primary Care as the front door of the NHS

Where Primary Care has the biggest impact in the heart failure pathway

Why current system design can hold clinicians back

The practical enablers that could change behaviour at scale

How small changes could unlock major improvements in patient outcomes

🎯 The core challenge:

If heart failure is a long-term condition…

Why is Primary Care still treated as peripheral?

🔎 Who this is for:

GPs, Practice Nurses, and Primary Care teams

NHS commissioners, ICS leaders, and policymakers

Cardiologists and specialist teams

People living with heart failure and their families
