Our Objectives

Clear objectives keep our work focused, and let people judge us on what we said we would do.

What we set out to do

Six objectives that shape everything we do

Each one is measurable, and each one answers the same question: does this help somebody find out sooner?

1

Raise public awareness

Increase understanding of Brugada syndrome among the general public, so that unexplained fainting and a family history of sudden death are recognised as reasons to seek medical assessment.

2

Provide clear information

Produce and share plain-language information about the condition, its symptoms, how it is diagnosed and how it is managed day to day.

3

Support individuals and families

Offer practical guidance and a supportive community for people who are newly diagnosed, awaiting screening, living with a device, or bereaved.

4

Encourage early recognition

Work with communities and professionals to encourage timely assessment, because early identification remains the most effective protection available.

5

Build partnerships

Collaborate with community organisations, faith centres, schools, employers and healthcare professionals to extend our reach.

6

Support research

Help connect people with research and registries that improve how individual risk is understood and assessed.

Help us reach the next family in time

Awareness work only counts when it reaches somebody who did not know. If you can help it travel further, we would like to hear from you.

In an emergency

If a person collapses and is not breathing normally, call your local emergency number immediately, begin CPR, and send someone for the nearest defibrillator.
