Heart Help Live

What is Heart Help Live?

In February 2023, the Heart Foundation launched the Heart Help Live series -- an online Facebook Live event featuring all the latest heart advice.

The sessions run for around 45 minutes, beginning with a live presentation from experts followed by a Q&A session answering questions from the audience. 

The series is all about offering accessible online support connecting you with a range of experts and allowing you to pick their brains. Find our next Heart Help Live session by following us on Facebook and going to the 'Events'
