11. We help babies with serious heart
conditions, their families, and the health
professionals who look after them.

12. National prenatal
detection rates of
CHD are currently at 47%

13. Together,
we want to get
these rates up to 75%

14. We train sonographers and
other health professionals
giving them the skills, information and
confidence to spot more defects during
pregnancy or as soon as possible after birth.

15. We offer families
the information and
support they need
We spread awareness – telling parents-
to-be about their baby’s developing heart;
and giving new parents vital information
about the signs of an undetected heart
problems in newborns.

16. We lobby decision-
makers in the NHS
influencing service standards –
and fund academic research into
congenital heart defects.
