We’re in the grip of a heart care crisis. We need the UK Government to stop it in its tracks.
Over the past six decades, we’ve made huge strides in improving outcomes for people living with heart and circulatory diseases in the UK. Today, this progress is at risk.
There are too many people waiting too long for potentially life-saving heart care. There are too many people living with risk factors that increase their chances of developing heart and circulatory diseases, including heart attack or stroke. And we are seeing too many families lose loved ones too soon.
But it’s not too late. You can help us get heart care back on track.
This UK General Election, British Heart Foundation is calling on all political parties in Westminster to make a meaningful difference to the lives of people affected by heart disease by committing to bold co-ordinated action on three fronts:
- Protection. Better prevention of heart disease and stroke by addressing drivers like obesity and smoking.
- Focus. Prioritisation of heart care to minimise the time it takes to get help.
- Breakthroughs. Supercharging research to unlock future treatments and cures.
People who need heart care can’t wait. Our hearts need and deserve more.
That’s why we want the next UK Government to prioritise heart disease.
Add your name if you agree.
