Tiny Tickers is the only UK charity working to improve prenatal detection rates of heart conditions in babies. Our work delivers real life-saving results to heart babies, their families, and the health professionals that look after them.
We’ve achieved a major milestone in our mission to detect heart defects in babies BEFORE they are born. On 5th July in the Royal United Hospital Bath, we trained our 1000th sonographer since 2016, to spot heart defects whilst carrying out routine 20 week pregnancy scans.
Team Tiny Tickers has welcomed Katie Lawson to the role of Head of Fundraising & Communications.
Thank you to everyone who took part in Heart Week this year! So many of you organised fundraising events to raise vital funds and awareness for heart babies. We had tea parties, bake sales and even popcorn and movies at work (thank you Star Media!)
At Tiny Tickers, our mission is to train as many sonographers as possible, as regularly as possible. The biggest single factor in increasing detection rates of Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) is sonographer training and so we’re proud to reveal that, since 2016, we have trained 967 sonographers throughout the UK.
