CHILDREN'S HEART FEDERATION
Nearly one out of every 100 children born suffers from
a heart disorder. But the different kinds of disorder are
rare enough for families often to feel very alone. The Children's
Heart Federation (CHF) exists to provide information, support
and contact to all families with heart children.
CHF is a federation of family support groups in the UK
and Ireland. It provides a freephone helpline 0808 808 500
for parents and professionals, and publishes and distributes
a range of information sheets and booklets on the practical
problems facing those who have contact with heart children.
Publications include a range of materials covering pre-natal
support, discovery of a heart murmur, feeding problems,
medicines, pacemakers, and travel abroad as well as booklets
for children. Other initiatives include respite care and
special holidays for group members, and the provision of
computers in paediatric cardiology wards for the education
of children who are in hospital.
