The Foundation for Circulatory Health is a registered charity. Its role is to facilitate and promote the International Centre for Circulatory Health (ICCH), a collaborative of internationally renowned scientists and clinicians in cardiovascular medicine. The ICCH delivers an integrated research strategy in circulatory medicine and applies the results of scientific endeavour to advance standards of care in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases in a multi-ethnic society. The Foundation seeks to ensure that the knowledge gained is shared with the developing world.

The Foundation makes grants available to a number of research and service delivery projects, usually through Imperial College London and St Mary’s NHS Trust. The grants facilitate the employment of personnel working in ICCH and elsewhere, to deliver this integrated strategy. The Foundation will continue to support the promotion, development and expansion of ICCH as a unique and powerful force in diminishing the global impact of cardiovascular disease and improving patient care.
