Our Strategy and Policy teams are at the forefront of driving impactful change and shaping the future of cardiovascular health. Our mission is to improve the quality of cross-BHF strategic thinking and decision-making, accelerating the delivery of our ambitious strategy.
Working at BHF means being part of a team that is committed to making a real difference. Our vision is a world where everyone has a healthier heart for longer. We achieve this through funding pioneering research, vital prevention activities, and quality care and support. Join us and be part of a team that works with and influences decision-makers, ensuring a favourable political and regulatory climate for the cardiovascular research community and people affected by heart and circulatory disease.
Our Strategy team is dedicated to identifying and assessing future strategic challenges and opportunities for the BHF. Through strategic planning, we ensure robust, strategically aligned plans across the organisation. We focus on futures, foresight, and associated analysis to accelerate the progression of BHF’s strategic initiatives.
Our Policy team engages with governments and parliaments across the four nations to ensure that legislation and policy make the healthy choice the easy choice. We work to ensure patients have equitable and timely access to diagnosis, treatment, and care, and that the research community is supported across the UK. By positioning BHF as an authoritative voice in research, healthcare, and public health, we provide solutions to prevent and treat heart and circulatory diseases.
Shortly after joining the BHF, I was offered the opportunity to have the support of an internal coach. I found the experience very useful in helping me to define our career ambitions and what next steps I should take. More recently, I have applied to take part in the Data Insight for Business Decision Apprenticeship scheme. I have just started a 13-month programme, and I am looking forward to gaining new skills and using them to be even more effective in my job and progress my career.
