The financial impact of PH

We need your help!

There’s still time to help us understand more about the financial difficulties facing people with PH, to enable us to push for change.

We want to make sure that people don’t face financial difficulties because of pulmonary hypertension, and to do that, we need to understand more.

Financial difficulties caused by PH seem to be getting worse. Last year, 63% of those who responded to our Living with PH survey said that financial worries had an impact on their lives, and the same number said their condition affects their ability to attend work or education.

We want to build on these findings to find out which elements of people’s financial stability are affected the most, and to understand the impact that has on their lives.

Without a ‘big voice’ it’s difficult to push for change, so we need as many people as possible to share their experiences. You may have received a survey through the post recently, with a freepost envelope. We would really appreciate it if you could complete and return it by 22nd December, to help us understand more and provide an evidence base that will help us campaign for change.

We understand that finances are personal, so we would like to reassure you that the information you provide will be kept completely confidential, and will only be used to input data. After that, it will be destroyed. You can also remain anonymous with your responses.

Without people like you sharing your experiences, we wouldn’t be able to meet the needs of those affected by PH so as a thank you, we are giving away £10 Love2shop vouchers to 150 randomly selected respondents. These vouchers can be spent at over 20,000 shops, restaurants and attractions. If you haven’t received a survey, but would like to take part in the research, please call us on 01709 761450. Just press ‘option two’ when prompted, leave your name and address, and we will post you one out. Alternatively, you can email us at office@phauk.org
