We are calling for the government to make Heart Failure a national priority and to publicly raise awareness of HF symptoms.
This will reduce the impact and burden of HF on the patients and the NHS (currently costing £2 billion annually) and reduce the high numbers of patients being cared for in hospital (where 80% of patients are currently diagnosed) to instead being cared for from home.
Early diagnosis does not just save lives; it transforms them.
Now is the time to act.

7 years ago today we made the biggest mistake bringing Oliver
to hospital
We had no idea that we were putting his life in danger Over 3weeks we had to watch our sporty fit healthy boy die a horrific death
I can never forgive myself for bringing Oliver to hospital that day

This weeks medicine refresher is : Amitriptyline
Nursing students must complete 2,300 clinical hours but a shortage of placements is making this increasingly difficult to achieve.
Should there be a rethink of requirements?
