Ms Jennifer Tollit

Jenny Tollit is a paediatric clinical nurse specialist in inherited cardiac conditions (ICCs) and was awarded a BHF Research Training Fellowship for Nurses and Healthcare Professionals to undertake a PhD at Great Ormond Street Hospital and UCL Institute of Cardiovascular Science. Her project focuses on the approach to cardiac screening in children and young people with a family history of sudden unexplained death. Her PhD project aims to describe how often ICC diagnoses are made in child-age relatives of those who have died due to SADS, as well as the psychosocial impact on families undergoing screening. One day a week Jenny retains a clinical role within the GOSH ICC service and runs a nurse-led clinic.
