SPOTLIGHT: Revolutionising heart care from the comfort of home.

Imagine needing a vital heart test, but instead of spending days confined to a hospital bed, you could do it while making a cup of tea in your own kitchen or walking the dog.

​That is exactly what a Holter Monitor does. As part of our £101,000 appeal, we want to purchase 30 of these wearable heart monitors for cardiology outpatients at Conquest Hospital.

​How do they work?

A Holter monitor is a small, lightweight device that a patient wears continuously for 24 hours a day. It quietly records every single heartbeat while they go about their normal routine.

​Why do we need 30 of them?

  • ​Accurate data: Doctors get a real-world picture of what a patient’s heart is doing during everyday activities, leading to faster, better diagnoses.
  • ​Shorter waiting lists: Adding 30 new monitors to the department means local people get tested and treated much quicker.
  • No hospital stay: It keeps patients out of hospital beds and at home with their families.

​​Your donation helps buy the freedom, peace of mind, and fast diagnosis that local heart patients deserve.
