National Heart Forum
The UK Health Forum (UKHF) (formerly National Heart Forum) is a charitable organisation in the UK allying over 60 charities, non-governmental and in reducing the risks of coronary heart disease (CHD) and such related conditions as stroke, diabetes and cancer. Established in 1984, the NHF has three primary functions: (1) to facilitate the work of its members by providing a forum for communication and by coordinating their actions; (2) to encourage sound national and international action by researching CHD and related conditions and educating others about them; and (3) to aid policy makers and UKHF members in effective collaboration. Members include such organisations as the British Medical Association, the British Heart Foundation, Which? and Cancer Research UK.[1][2]
Among other areas of interest, the UKHF has spoken publicly against irresponsible advertising of junk food to children.[1][3]
It has a commercial subsidiary Micro Health Simulations.
