  6. HFA Annual Congress (SWOT analysis) • Strengths: Established brand. Largest and most international specialist meeting. • Weaknesses: Relatively poor quality abstracts. Few late breakers. Generous invitation of overseas speakers/chairs. • Opportunities: Programme changes. New physician/other groups. New geographical markets. Partnering with other ESC/non-ESC groups. • Threats: Economic downturn. Regulations re pharma-physician relationships

  7. HFA Annual Congress • Berlin 2010: Oncology day, Diabetes day • Belgrade 2012: Cost of congress centre; appeal to Central/Eastern European delegates

  10. HFA financial position (SWOT analysis) • Strengths: Reasonably large reserves (Euro 2.4 million) • Weaknesses: Poor budgeting for large projects, notably Patient website. Annual losses past 2 and next financial year greater than in our “planned overspend”. • Opportunities: Lower cost congress venues (Belgrade). Congress programme changes. Journal revenue from OUP. New statutes/governance. • Threats: CRT survey. Economic downturn. Regulations re pharma-physician relationships

  11. Committee Activities (1) • Patient Care: Curriculum for Specialist Nurse training. Consensus statement on palliative care in press. Clinical standards document. Non-pharmacological interventions document. • Translational Research: Report from Workshop on inflammation in HF just published. Upcoming workshop on the “Cardiovascular side-effects of cancer therapies”, Brussels May 6-7, 2009. • National Societies: Pilot registry minimal dataset. Piloting National Heart Failure Day. • Surveys & Registers: Pilot joint Swedish/Italian registry minimal dataset. Assisting Asia-Pacific Society plan HF survey.

  12. Committee Activities (2) • Education: ETP courses. Primary Care course November 2008. Biomarkers in HF, May 2009. • HF-PEF: “State of Art” meeting October. Consensus statement on treatment. • Acute HF: Position paper on assessment of congestion. Workshop “Acute Heart Failure Management in Europe” October 2009 (with ESICM, ESEM, WONCA and EFIM). • External Affairs: Interactions with European Commission – FP7, EC Health 2010 etc • Industry: Patient website. Joint HFA/industry/regulatory workshops.
