Heart failure

This series of films (developed with Guy’s and St Thomas’ and King’s College Hospital Trusts) will help people to understand what heart failure is, explain some of the common symptoms and give practical advice on how to cope.

There’s a wealth of useful information about living with the condition including films on driving, working, going on holiday, adapting your home and coping with associated low mood. But the key aim is to encourage people to monitor and treat the symptoms of heart failure effectively.

We’ve interviewed people who have heart failure and a wide range of experts to give people the information they need. .

Does it work?

Yes – and we can prove it. Our films have been independently evaluated, with consistently positive results: patients understand more, do more, and feel more confident. Clinicians report high satisfaction and better engagement across the board.

Changes behaviour

Patients are more likely to take action, follow advice, and stay engaged when information is simple, relevant, and easy to absorb. Our films make that happen.
