Every year, usually sometime in April, the PSG hold an “Education Open Day” which is held at St Peter’s Hospital. This is an event that is organised by the medical/clinical staff & PSG members. The main aim is to provide a location where medical staff, patients with ICDs, their family & friends can meet & have the opportunity to exchange points of view in a relaxed & social environment. There are short talks, lectures & demonstrations given by the medical staff. Adequate time is also allowed [when refreshments are being served] for all attendees to talk together in an informal style. This event is open to all patients who have had an ICD Implant Operation..

The PSG also aim to hold at least one social event every year outside of St Peter’s Hospital. The number of social events & ICD discussions could be increased, but this would depend upon the members giving their active support. Your suggestions for such activities & volunteering to help in organising them would be much appreciated. If you wish to volunteer, please email your willingness to do so.

The main overall purpose of the PSG is to create a more knowledgeable & congenial way of life for all ICD patients. The solution for any problem is here, you only have to join & ask.
