H·E·A·R·T UK provides up to date information for Health Professionals who care for people with lipid abnormalities.

Membership of the Professional Division of H·E·A·R·T UK is open nationally to individuals with a recognised medical qualification and to medical scientists. There are about 250 consultant members of H·E·A·R·T UK who run most of the approximately 130 lipid clinics throughout the UK and Northern Ireland. They are represented by the Medical Scientific & Research Committee (see appendix 1 for membership) which is accountable to the Board of H·E·A·R·T UK for professional matters including organising an Annual Medical and Scientific Meeting, professional conferences, speciality training, research awards, research and guideline development, and representing the society as a stakeholder with, for example, the National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence, and the Food Standards Agency. For the last two years a panel composed in accordance with ACCEA requirements has considered applications for nomination for national awards and the assessment process has been published on the H·E·A·R·T UK website (www.heartuk.org.uk). Funding-raising by the Professional Division of the charity is largely restricted to obtaining sponsorship towards the cost of the Annual Medical & Scientific Meeting and a limited number of other activities, such as PhD bursaries.
