Supported by Australian and New Zealand cardiologists, hearts4heart is a health promotion charity and peak body that supports, educates and advocates for people living with heart disease. hearts4heart brings together patients and healthcare professionals with the shared goal to reduce the burden to heart patients. hearts4heart provides targeted educational programs, resources and services to improve the diagnosis, treatment and quality of life for people affected by heart disease. We achieve this through support, information, education, awareness/screening events and advocacy. The primary goal of the organisation is to eliminate stroke and preventable deaths. Objective The objective is to raise awareness of structural heart disease to ensure early diagnoses, treatment and management to eliminate preventable deaths and improve patient s quality of life. Project Scope and description Our strategy is defined under 4 main goals: 1) Raise awareness of the symptoms and severity of structural heart disease and arrhythmias 2) Support primary care to improve the detection in the community 3) Offer informed and practical ways to improve diagnosis and patient access to therapies 4) Offer practical education and support to patients and carers Awareness Hearts4heart facilitated 3 awareness campaigns which include Heart Valve Disease Awareness Week, Heart Failure Awareness Week and AF Awareness Week. Activities include: Social media campaign: Facebook and Instagram paid advertising campaign targeted at people over the age of 65 highlighting symptoms and the need for a heart check. Media Communications: Hearts4heart embarked on a media campaign highlighting the need for a heart check. This includes radio earned media. Advocacy Hearts4heart are passionate about ensuring patients and seen, heard and valued in HTA decisions that are being made about access to treatments, devices and technology. Consumer organisations translate the reallife impact for patients. We speak to the patient experience and what it will mean to the patient if it isn t available and their experience during or post treatment. Patients who are diagnosed are in need of education and support to ensure that they understand how to manage their condition and the treatment options available. In addition, raising awareness is essential, not only raising awareness to the general public but it is also essential to educate GPs on the importance of early diagnoses and the treatment pathways. Through our work we raise the patient voice, increase public awareness that promotes early diagnoses, develop educational materials to educate the community of the management and treatment, provide patient support and ensure that patients have access to therapies. Support We continued to provide support services to Australians living with heart disease. Hearts4heart provide over the phone support to patients and connect patients who are going through a similar experience.
