We are concerned with improving the detection of congenital heart disease before birth, by
raising awareness and training healthcare professionals in NHS hospitals in the UK.
Unfortunately, we cannot help with heart disease after birth, or outside an NHS ultrasound unit.
Organisations concerned with
adult or children's heart disease may be
able to help, instead.
Your feedback: We read every relevant email and letter and we welcome your
questions, suggestions and comments about congenital heart disease
and antenatal screening.
We cannot always respond, but we do take your comments
on board and we will take appropriate action where necessary.
