The British Heart Foundation (BHF) is often seen as an organisation focused on patients. This is true, but along with major research, supporting healthcare professionals is also a vital part of our role. In the past we have worked mainly with specialists in secondary care, but now we are re-focusing our attention. For the first time, we are supporting GPs and other primary healthcare professionals with education and training, and becoming involved in projects where GPs play a central role in improving patient outcomes.
