Meet our Advanced Heart Failure Research Team 

Senior Advanced Heart Failure Research Nurse 

Marion McAdam became interested in Heart Failure in 2004 while working in the Cardiology Ward of the Western Infirmary Hospital. She went on to work in Coronary Care, Cardiac Catheterisation Laboratories and a Heart Failure Specialist Nurse before taking on a research position in the Glasgow Royal Infirmary.

Marion now heads the Heart Failure Research team at the Golden Jubilee, with a steadily expanding team currently running more than 25 trials.  Many of these are complex device and interventional trails, which we are leading nationally and internationally.
