    Goals / Remit

    The objectives of FH Europe are to actively work to secure early identification and diagnosis of Familial Hypercholesterolaemia (FH) patients to prevent early cardiovascular disease.

    Our aims as a patient association are to:
    Share information and best practice across Europe
    Work with experts to focus on themes and topics of interest to the patients and families we represent
    Support development of newer or smaller patient groups and individuals wanting to start a patient group

    Main EU files targeted

    We are interested in following European Union health policy relating to cardiovascular disease and lipid disorders,in particular Familial Hypercholesterolaemia (both heterozygous and homozygous) and related lipid conditions such as FCS. This falls within the European Union policy area of non-communicable diseases.

    We have not responded to any policy consultation documents at present.

    Complementary Information

    FH Europe has provided administrative and drafting support in relation to the work of a medical expert on paediatric FH which was submitted to the Best Practice Portal for evaluation in 2019 in order to promote this example of best practice.

    FH Europe and its member organisations seek to promote best practice in treatment of patients and are willing to commit voluntary and any other available resource to promote such practice.

    Communication activities

    In the last year we have not undertaken any visits to Brussels to the European Parliament or the European Commission.
    Reflecting our commitment to ensuring early identification and diagnosis of Familial Hypercholesterolaemia (FH) patients to prevent early cardiovascular disease, we have collaborated with a paediatric consultant, Professor Albert Wiegman of the Netherlands, to report on the beneficial outcomes of paediatric testing for Familial Hypercholesterolaemia (FH) which is an autosomal dominant disorder. We submitted our report by end January 2019, including additional evidence published in a variety of medical journals for evaluation with the aim of this being included in the Best Practice Portal as an exemplar to raise awareness of the benefits of early testing for cardiovascular disease.”
