Cardiac equipment grants

Child has chest scanHospitals can apply for grants for equipment such as monitors, ECG machines, echo machines, event recorders and multi-channel recorders. 

Hospital NHS trusts are expected to contribute funds towards the equipment where possible and assist us in fundraising and promotional activities.

Portable ultrasound scanners

The availability of portable, hand-held imaging devices will help avoid unnecessary and expensive full examination, excess patient travel and ultimately reduce hospital waiting times.

We support evidence that the swift and accurate diagnosis of heart failure can lead to more appropriate treatment and patient support. Our portable ultrasound initiative aims to:

  • improve availability and access to echocardiography services in the community
  • promote a wider use of scanners by utilising the skills of trained echo-technicians for relevant and rapid patient screening.
