👋 June Social Check-in! ❤️⚽️

[Luke_BHF]

Welcome to the June Social Check-in!

As we gather here in this community, let’s take a moment to connect. Whether you’re a steadfast advocate for heart health or finding your way on this journey, your presence is a heartbeat here.

Life is more than just one aspect of our health. Feel free to talk about your hobbies, recent reads, or any little thing that sparks joy in your life. This space is for you to be you!

Understanding Sudden Cardiac Death: It’s a sobering reality that each week, 12 individuals under 35 in the UK are taken by sudden cardiac death (SCD). To deepen our understanding and explore the research aimed at halting SCD, join us for the latest Live & Ticking webinar on Wednesday 26 June at 4pm. Secure your spot at bhf.org.uk/liventicking and be part of the conversation.

Heartbeats and Goals: In the spirit of the Euros football tournament, we have launched a poignant campaign to raise awareness of heart conditions in the young. Through powerful murals and stories, we remember the fans who loved the game but were taken too soon by heart disease. Learn more here: bhf.org.uk/tilidied.

Wishing you a heart-healthy wonderful month!

Luke from the BHF 😊

Watching England play football is definitely not good for anyone with any kind of heart condition!

Hopefully today is the dawn of a new era for the NHS after years of cutbacks and stealth privatisation. We need shorter waiting lists, more cardiologists, more and better vascular surgeons, more ophthalmologists, less broken equipment (friends have recently encountered broken MRI equipment and "field-of-vision" equipment, and where I go for amputee physiotherapy has a broken cable gym and treadmill

P.S. If the usual suspects want to report this thread feel free as I split the blame for my amputation three ways (long term diabetes/an incompetent vascular surgeon/government cuts leading to excessive delays in appropriate treatment)
