While the world’s focus has been firmly fixed on the COVID-19 pandemic for the last two years, there is another hidden crisis in Europe: cardiovascular disease.

Langland, a Publicis Health company, presents a webinar hosted by PMLiVE
After the wildfire: how will healthcare recover from the pandemic?
After a forest fire, the natural world recovers according to predictable patterns, in a process known as ‘ecological succession’. The modern world has never seen a global conflagration quite like COVID-19, so what will those equivalent patterns look like for healthcare? Join Langland and a panel of health experts as they ask how the pandemic will change the way individuals manage their own health, how healthcare companies interact with patients, and the status of health literacy on the global health agenda.
There is a strong panel of speakers lined up, with representatives from Langland being joined by healthcare experts, so make sure you join us on Thursday 20 January at 2pm for this free webinar session. See https://tinyurl.com/54ndcuvc for more details.
