1 in 4 of us will die from heart and circulatory diseases. Let us change that.

9th January 2019

When was the last time you had a conversation about heart or circulatory diseases? They are the world's biggest killers but we don't often talk about them.

We want to change that. People are often surprised to hear about how diseases like coronary heart disease, stroke, vascular dementia and diabetes are connected. The British Heart Foundation is offering this free course to help you learn more about what these diseases are, the effect that they have on your body and how our pioneering research is taking us closer to a world without them.   Sign up here today It Starts with Your Heart This course is available free of charge for 5 weeks. Made up of a series of films, animations and short articles, you can complete it over a three-week period at a pace that suits you, from as little as 5-10 minutes a day, from a desktop computer, phone or tablet. If your business would like to join the fight to beat heartbreak forever then please contact Nicola Jones at jonesni@bhf.org.uk
