Fulfilling our mission
Our sole beneficiary is the National Heart & Lung Institute, devoted to research, education and patient care in heart, lung and cardiovascular diseases. The Institute has a pivotal role within a formal alliance that brings together Imperial College London, Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust and Royal Brompton and Harefield NHS Foundation Trust. This alliance has created Europe's largest service for cardiac and respiratory health enabling joint research studies and clinical-led services into joint working units and services. The alliance brings together more than 460 cardiac and thoracic surgeons, consultants, professors and researchers to deliver world-leading improvements in clinical care, education and research activities in heart and lung medicine.
The national burden of heart and lung disease is immense. It causes unquantifiable misery and almost every family has a member, friend or colleague who has died or suffered from heart and lung disease. Our work reaches out and touches so many people of all ages.
We believe that by supporting the work of the National Heart & Lung Institute we, with your help, can best fulfil our mission.
