Together we can beat heart disease

Heart and circulatory diseases cause more than a quarter of all deaths in the UK. In 2011 alone, they caused the deaths of over 159,000 people.

The British Heart Foundation (BHF) is committed to sharing our knowledge to prevent heart disease devastating people’s lives. But we can’t do this life-saving work alone.

Healthcare practitioners and health promoters are on the frontline, helping to support those already diagnosed with a heart or circulatory condition, and protect people with risk factors for heart disease.

In this catalogue, we outline some of the services, programmes and resources that are available to you, so that you can join us in the fight for the nation’s heart health.

Because it’s only by working together that we can beat heart disease.

So that was it for me. I changed everything.My cardiac unit gave me the BHF’s leafletson diabetes, eating well and returning to workand I started exercising more, eating betterand improving my work/life balance.

I feel like a new man and can’t thank themenough for helping me look forward to lifeas a happier, healthier dad.”

“If you want to see change, use your voice.Get out there and tell people about heart disease.Lobby parliament. Run awareness days. Talk toreal people and make some real changes.

Thanks to the BHF I’ve been able to do all thesethings. They’ve bent over backwards to get meall the things I’ve needed, including illness-specificinformation packs and leaflets in minority languages.

They’ve helped me put my heart attack behindme, get involved in the community and makea positive difference.”

“I think of the BHF as the Delia Smith of cardiac.They’re approachable, sensible and make complexthings easy to understand. Their range of bookletsandDVDsistheperfectplacetostartwhetheryou’re a patient, a student or a health care professional.In fact, I often refer to them myself.

These days I usually advise people to visit the BHF’swebsite, but a pile of booklets is still really handy forthings like open days. I also like the way they fit nicelyinto handbags or jacket pockets. It just makes it reallyeasy for patients to take them home.”

Automatedexternaldefibrillators(AEDs) in thecommunity

An automated externaldefibrillator (AED) gives theheart an electric shock andmay be used in an emergencysituation on someone who isin cardiac arrest.

AEDs with CPR can be used tohelp keep someone alive untilprofessional help arrives. Becausean AED automatically analyses the electrical activity of the heart and gives automated instructions, it can be used by untrained membersof the public.

We aim to improve access to AEDsin public places, particularly whereit may take longer for an ambulanceto arrive.
