Research
At Children’s Heartbeat Trust, we are dedicated to driving progress in understanding, treating, and supporting children and young people living with heart disease.

Through research, we seek to uncover new insights, influence best practices, and improve outcomes for heart families across Northern Ireland.
Our commitment spans from funding innovative studies to supporting local clinicians and allied health professionals through bursaries and grants. Whether exploring environmental factors in congenital heart disease, improving psychological wellbeing, or addressing the hidden costs of hospital stays, our research initiatives are shaping the future of CHD care.
