Our mission
The National Heart Forum's mission is to work with and through our members to contribute to the prevention of avoidable coronary heart disease and related conditions in the UK.
The NHF has adopted the following functions in order to deliver its mission:
1) To provide a forum in which members
-
exchange information, ideas and co-ordinate activities;
-
develop policy based on evidence and the need for action.
2) To collectively stimulate and advocate effective action nationally and internationally through information, education, policy research and development.
3) To facilitate working relationships between members and policy makers, and to strengthen and develop public health capacity.

We take a holistic approach to heart disease prevention looking at all the following dimensions:
- Medical
