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 around the world a space to bring complex PH cases for discussion with a tailored panel of PH specialists.

The service is open to clinicians globally, with a particular focus on supporting clinicians in low and middle-income countries (LMICs).

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.

1. Submit your anonymised case through the PVRI website
2. The Access to Care Workstream team will review your case and match it with a tailored PH panel
3. 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
4. Join a live 60-minute webinar with the tailored PH panel to discuss your case
   1. PVRI will promote the webinar to the global PH community, and attendees will be able to join the live discussion
   2. The webinar date and time will be agreed based on the availability and time zones of the case presenter and PH panel, where possible
5. The webinar recording will then be added to the case study library for the global PH community to learn from
6. As Global PH Consult is a pilot programme, we’ll then follow up to hear about your experience and improve the service
    

Who can submit a case?

This service is available to clinicians around the world who are managing, or have managed, a complex PH case that would benefit from wider discussion.

The service aims to support more equitable access to PH case discussion, shared learning, and specialist perspectives across different healthcare settings, with a particular focus on supporting clinicians in low and middle-income countries (LMICs).

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 a space to discuss complex PH cases, hear different perspectives, and contribute to shared learning across the global PH community.

Why the focus on LMICs?
We’re focusing on LMICs because clinicians in these settings may face greater disparities in access to specialist PH discussion and support. By encouraging 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.
