About Us

We exist to improve the detection, diagnosis and care of babies with heart problems, before birth.  Tiny Tickers is a national charity that aims to have a practical impact on the lives of the 5,000 heart babies born each year and their families.

Our goals:

1. All women should be offered the opportunity to have their baby screened for heart problems during pregnancy
2. This screening examination should detect most forms of congenital heart disease
3. There should be sufficient resources and trained specialists to care for babies with heart conditions and support families

If these goals are met, more babies with heart conditions would have a prenatal diagnosis, allowing families and doctors to be involved at an earlier stage and give these babies the chance of a better start in life.
