Our community is here for you to use, we hope that you find it useful to share information with other members and meeting other people in similar situations. 

However, this should not be substituted by professional diagnosis, advice and support. Take any recommendations as you would treat any personal recommendation – check that it is authentic and suitable. Be careful in sharing information yourself also – don’t present opinions as facts and only share trusted resources.  We will have expert BHF nurses and medical experts on the community, they will be on hand to give that expert advice so do feel free to ask questions to our nurses on our community.
