In support of application to serve as Councillor of the ESC board 2020-2022

15th November 2019

Dear Prof Bax:

I am writing this letter of motivation in support of my application to serve as Councillor for the ESC board from 2020-2022.
I first came to the ESC in 2006 through the (then) WG in Acute Cardiac Care, having been identified as one of few
cardiologists who are also fully trained as in intensive care medicine, and working clinically in a highly specialized
cardiothoracic intensive care unit (Royal Brompton) as well as in academic partnership with one of the top universities in
the world (NHLI, Imperial college, London). Throughout my association with the ESC, I have been privileged to work
alongside and learn from extraordinary professionals who aim to improve the outcomes of patients with cardiovascular
disease at every level, and in all areas of cardiovascular medicine. During this time I have brought my drive and enthusiasm
to support the vision of the Society, both at the subspecialist level of the Associations (through the ESC-ACCA, and within
the Association forum) and also for the wider ESC, where I have been lucky enough to work within in a number of
committees, including the CPC, Education, Global Affairs, Media/Press committee, Partnership Policy, and more recently on
the ESC board as president of the ESC-ACCA.
In both my professional and personal life I strive always be the best I can, including working for excellence, increasing
opportunity and reducing injustice, wherever possible. I feel immensely privileged for the career, recognition and respect
that I have, on a local, national and international level, and am very aware this has been immensely enhanced by the
opportunities I have had through the ESC. I believe that my broad professional base, crossing a number of specialties and
subspecialties, wide multidisciplinary working and collaborative style, and ethos of scrupulous integrity, combined with my
knowledge of the workings of the ESC mean that I feel I am now in a position to bring these attributes to bear as Councillor
of the ESC board, thereby contributing more and better in order to support the vision of the Society in its mission to reduce
the burden of cardiovascular disease. Thank you for considering this application.
Yours truly,

Susanna Price
