Who we are

The Aortic Dissection Charitable Trust is the UK and Ireland charity uniting patients, families and the medical community in a shared goal of improving diagnosis, increasing survival and reducing disability due to aortic dissection.

Our culture and values

We are bringing consistency of treatment across the whole patient pathway through:

• Increased access to education for medical professionals and patients in the UK & Ireland
• Working with those responsible for healthcare policy in the UK & Ireland to ensure that there is consistency in the provision of diagnosis for acute aortic dissection, specialised follow-up for survivors and access to clinical genetics for relatives
• Promoting funding for medical research into the detection, prevention, treatment and cure for aortic dissection
