Wendy is a member of the BHF Data Science Centre Public Advisory Group and contributes to the Stroke Data Science Catalyst.
She works full time as a Data Manager for a large private healthcare company and also enjoys being a patient representative too. She lives in Sussex with her 16 year old son.
She has a number of complex heart conditions and had a stroke 5 years ago caused by Atrial Fibrillation. Wendy says her health has given her a deeper appreciation for life and she is driven by a passion to make the most of every day.
Wendy says she joined the BHF DSC Patient Advisory Group because she wanted to help clinicians and researchers think about cardiovascular health from a patient’s perspective. She loves feeling like she is making a difference and enjoys meeting other people who know what it’s like to live with a heart condition. She also volunteers for many other charities, including the British Heart Foundation and European Society of Cardiology.
