Patrons & Celebrities
SADS UK is supported by high profile celebrities in a variety of professions who have been impacted by SADS and want to help the charity save lives. A few of whom are detailed below:
DR HILARY JONES MBE
TV personality, GP and Health Editor for Good Morning Britain
Dr Hilary says “As Patron to the national cardiac charity SADS UK I fully support the SADS UK Big Shock Campaign to place defibrillators in schools. It’s good to see the SADS UK Big Shock Campaign has been so successful and more schools are now putting defibrillators in place to help save lives. I know SADS UK is keeping this at the forefront with Government.
Over the many years I have worked for the NHS there have been far too many cases of young preventable cardiac deaths. SADS UK are making a difference in the amount of lives being saved which has increased dramatically along with improvements in medical equipment, advanced specialist training and the hard-working NHS staff, together with the education of the general public in how and what to do in the event of an emergency. SADS UK has been working hard since 1998 to educate, prevent sudden cardiac death and provide lifesaving equipment such as public access defibrillators which helps sustain life until paramedics arrive and provide the specialist care.”
DR AMIR KHAN GP
TV personality, GP and Resident Doctor for Good Morning Britain
SADS UK are proud to have the support of Patron Dr. Amir Khan GP(MBCHB (Hons) MRCGP DCH DRCOG PGCE DipDiab).
Dr Khan says “As a GP in my practice in Bradford I have experienced first-hand the devastating effect of SADS on individuals and families and have supported families through this difficult time. I endorse the work of SADS UK and their commitment to families who have been affected by SADS or are living with inherited cardiac conditions. SADS UK have worked for over 20 years placing defibrillators in schools, sports centres and communities to help save lives should a person suffer a cardiac arrest. I am proud to become a Patron of such an important charity.”
