Raising money for an MRI scanner for the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust to help save lives.

Story

Myself and my fellow cardiology colleagues Amanda, Claire, Lucie, Jack, Alvin, Toni and Charley are all taking part in the Norwich Inflatable 5k run in September to raise money for a dedicated cardiac MRI scanner. Working in cardiology we all know how much of a difference this would make to our patients.

Thank you for your support x

The Norfolk Heart Trust was started by Norfolk cardiologists in 1990 to support investigation and treatment of heart disease, research and education in our region.

If you, a member of your family or a friend have been treated for heart disease at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, there is a good chance that the equipment has been donated by the Norfolk Heart Trust.

The Miracle Magnets for Hearts appeal is raising £1.5m for a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanner which is capable of diagnose heart disease more accurately than x-ray tests or tubes inside the heart, completely changing how we can treat patients.

There is a need for a dedicated heart MRI in Norfolk region, with patients currently having to travel out of Norfolk for scans and faced with long waiting lists. Heart MRI is vital for high quality research in heart disease and will improve patient care and experience, enabling early diagnosis of heart disease to save lives.
