BHF Policy

From the lightbulb moment to the lifesaving treatment, research has transformed heart health, helping people survive conditions that were once fatal. ❤️💡

But there is still much more to do. Sign our open letter today and help make cardiovascular research a Government priority, so more lifesaving breakthroughs are possible.🔗 act.bhf.org.uk/page/195240/pe…

Today, @TheBHF has launched a new report with @EquallyWellUK, @CentreforMH and @rcpsych exploring inequalities in cardiovascular disease faced by people living with severe mental illness 📢🫀

See the report’s key findings and recommendations below 🔗👇

Many thanks to @ChrisVinceMP for visiting his local @TheBHF red bench in Harlow and taking the time to meet with his constituent Anna, whose story the bench recognises.

Yesterday, we joined the first cardiovascular health summit, hosted by @econ_enterprise 🫀

It was inspiring to hear how BHF-funded research is driving innovation in heart health and care, and of the shared commitment to tackling one of the UK’s biggest killers 🚀
