The Miles Frost Fund hits £1.5 million target; boosting funding for six inherited heart condition centres across the UK

Young man hugs an old man

Thousands more patients at risk of deadly inherited heart conditions are to be screened each year following the roll out of a £1.5m genetic testing service by the family of the late Sir David Frost and the British Heart Foundation (BHF).

The service here in Oxford - established by Prof Hugh Watkins – has received funding to support two new posts, allowing the team to see over 200 more people a year.

The Miles Frost Fund, created in memory of Sir David’s eldest son, Miles, has hit its £1.5 million fundraising target, just two years after it launched.
