Global PH Consult
Global PH Consult, is an online global pulmonary hypertension (PH) consultation service, from PVRI’s Access to Care Workstream. Built around peer-to-peer support, it gives clinicians in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) a space to bring complex PH cases for discussion with a tailored panel of PH specialists.
If you’re managing, or have managed, a complex PH case that would benefit from wider discussion, you can submit an anonymised case for consideration.
How it works
Global PH Consult gives you the opportunity to discuss an anonymised PH case with a panel of specialists.
- Submit your anonymised case through the PVRI website
- The Access to Care Workstream team will review your case and match it with a tailored PH panel
- If selected, you’ll join a pre-webinar call with the panel to discuss the case in advance and talk through the live webinar format
- Join a live 60-minute webinar with the tailored PH panel to discuss your case
- PVRI will promote the webinar to the global PH community, and attendees will be able to join the live discussion
- The webinar date and time will be agreed based on the availability and time zones of the case presenter and PH panel, where possible
- The webinar recording will then be added to the case study library for the global PH community to learn from
- As Global PH Consult is a pilot programme, we’ll then follow up to hear about your experience and improve the service

What to submit
You can submit a complex PH case where expert discussion could support your thinking, learning, or management approach. All cases must be anonymised before submission.
Why we’re doing this
PH care looks different around the world. Some clinicians have easy access to specialist networks and case discussion, while others have fewer opportunities to talk through complex cases with colleagues in the field.
Global PH Consult is here to help reduce these disparities. It gives clinicians in LMICs a space to discuss complex PH cases, hear different perspectives, and contribute to shared learning across the global PH community.
Why only LMICs?
We’re focusing on LMICs because clinicians in these settings may face greater disparities in access to specialist PH discussion and support. By prioritising LMIC clinicians for case submissions, we can help make global PH learning more equitable, while still opening the webinar discussions to the wider PH community.
Please share Global PH Consult with colleagues, regional PH centres, and clinical networks who may benefit from wider discussion around complex PH cases.
Your support can help more clinicians in LMICs take part in global PH case discussion and shared learning.
PVRI has enhanced my access to international research, guidelines, and mentorship opportunities.

To help you share Global PH Consult with your network, we’ve created a flyer, PowerPoint slide, email copy, and social media post to promote the service to LMIC clinicians who may want to submit a complex PH case.
