The Aortic Dissection Charitable Trust is the UK & Ireland charity uniting patients, families and the medical community in a shared goal of improving diagnosis, increasing survival and reducing disability due to aortic dissection. We work by improving education, healthcare policy and research.

Story

Your fundraising will support the training and placement of Aortic Dissection Advanced Practitioners - specialist nurses who provide essential care to over 20,000 people living with aortic dissection in the UK. Many patients are missing the routine follow-up they need, including annual scans, lifestyle advice, and emotional support. These nurses will bridge that gap, offering personalised care to improve patient outcomes and quality of life.

By fundraising, you’ll ensure that patients receive timely interventions, preventing life-threatening complications and helping them live healthier, fuller lives.

Every contribution funds these vital roles, from consultations and follow-ups to genetic testing and counselling. Your generosity can transform the lives of thousands of patients and their families.
