In the North East of England more people die from cardiovascular (CV) diseases than from cancer. It is a sobering thought that many of us in the region, or those close to us, may well need the expertise of the Cardio Unit at Freeman Hospital in Newcastle at some time in our lives.

In recent years, advances to treatments and procedures have resulted in improved health outcomes for patients with CV diseases. Much of this is due to research.

The Newcastle Cardiovascular Trials & Research (NECTAR) Fund is our very own charitable fund based here at the Freeman. The fund aims to improve the experience for our patients with CV diseases.
