Charities and Third Sector Partners
Uniting across the UK for collective impact
Real change requires working together. We collaborate with patient advocacy groups, national charities and third-sector networks across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland to elevate heart failure on the public health agenda.
Why is it vital that we act now?
Heart failure is diagnosed too late - Over 80% of cases are diagnosed following an emergency hospital admission, despite 40% showing earlier symptoms
Heart failure care is not equitable - Access to Specialist Nurses and inpatient care varies considerably across the UK.
Heart failure is costing the NHS millions - Moving from crisis management to early diagnosis will lead to significant savings.
By working together we can help
Advocate for heart failure, broader CVD and chronic conditions to be integrated into national strategies.
Highlight regional health inequalities and urge local healthcare systems to publish outputs and metrics so we can push for change.
Champion legislation that expands and supports a diverse workforce, ensuring equitable specialist care for heart failure and all co-morbidities.
How can we collaborate?
Joint awareness and education drives to improve symptom recognition of co-morbidities and build clinical confidence among all healthcare professionals.
Co-designing accessible, accredited educational materials and frameworks can help ensure equitable care access regardless of background.
Pooling efforts to lobby for protected workforce funding, health equality and dedicated cardiovascular strategies across all UK nations will achieve a greater impact than if we work alone.
