About the programme

To improve care for people with heartburn, indigestion and acid reflux, the University of Cambridge, Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Queen Mary University of London are working with the NHS to set up Heartburn Health.

Heartburn Health aims

Heartburn, indigestion and acid reflux are common symptoms. They can cause daily discomfort and sometimes need long-term medication (e.g. Omeprazole or Gaviscon). In rare cases, these symptoms can lead to more serious health problems.

This programme will build a community of volunteers with heartburn. This will allow experts to research issues like how to manage symptoms, improve medication and detect more serious health problems early (e.g. cancer), when they are easier to treat.
