Heart health is under increasing pressure.

Nurse and allied health professional recruitment in cardiology is under threat.

Funding taken away with no plans to fill current vacancies.

No plan to guarantee jobs for newly qualified nurses and allied health professionals.

Increased pressure on already overwhelmed staff.

Staff leaving nursing and AHP services due to the pressures.

It does not have to be this way.
If you want to be part of the solution, contact your Member of Parliament to and make your voice heard.

We need your help.

The 2020s has been the worst start to a decade for heart health in the last 50 years, and waiting lists for care and treatment still near record highs.

This autumn, we're attending political party conferences to urge MPs to make meaningful change for heart patients and keep hearts healthier for longer.

You can help us do this in under 5 minutes by emailing your local MP: https://act.bhf.org.uk/page/174743/action/1?ea.tracking.id=zbed0wtp
