Every week in the UK, 12 people under 35 are lost unexpectedly to sudden cardiac death.
Join our free webinar at 4pm on Wednesday 26 June to find out how BHF-funded research is trying to stop this. To sign-up, visit bhf.org.uk/liventicking

We're absolutely loving this!
Thanks @NHS_SELCA @NHSsoutheast.
We hope it encourages more Black men to come forward for screening & testing.

Black men are more likely to get #prostatecancer than other men, but it is still regarded as a taboo subject within Black communities.
We’ve created 10 animations with @LCCLondon students and patients to encourage Black men to speak to their community and GP about their risk.

This is such an important step forward in our work to identify people with Lynch Syndrome (a common inherited condition) and offer them regular surveillance.
But 95% of people in the UK still don't know they have Lynch Syndrome.

Routine bowel cancer screening is now being offered to people with Lynch syndrome, a genetic condition that increases the chance of certain cancers.
Read how this will help to identify bowel cancers earlier, when successful treatment is more likely. ➡️ england.nhs.uk/2024/02/thous…

It's fitting to announce on #RareDiseaseDay that a new genetic test is available for anyone of African, Brazilian or Caribbean ancestry who is considering donating a kidney.
Testing for the APOL1 gene can now be ordered via our Lab. Info👉bit.ly/3UYJsvj
