Catherine FowlerTADCT Trustee and Aortic Dissection CampaignerCatherine’s father lost his life to a misdiagnosed aortic dissection in 2015, resulting in the launch of a petition and awareness campaign requesting the NHS and HSE to implement changes across four key pillars: policy, diagnostics, education and process. The petition currently has over 6,600 supporters and is growing daily.
Catherine is a relentless campaigner to improve aortic dissection patient outcomes, appearing on national radio, television and at medical conferences throughout the UK, Ireland and Europe. She is also the current public and patient voice for NHS England Cardiac Clinical Reference Group.
Her work continues to be a catalyst for change across the aortic dissection diagnosis and treatment pathway. -
Bob Harris OBEBroadcasting legend and The Aortic Dissection Charitable Trust AmbassadorBob Harris is a broadcasting legend whose career spans over 50 years, from his groundbreaking work at BBC Radio 1 in the 1970s, the introductions of many superb bands on the Old Grey Whistle Test TV show, to his current programme Bob Harris Country on BBC Radio 2. In 2011, Bob received an OBE for his services to music broadcasting.
In the spring of 2019, Bob suffered an aortic dissection whilst out walking. Bob describes the experience as an incredibly scary moment and feels he owes his life to the prompt arrival of the ambulance crew and quick thinking of the intensive care team. But Bob continues to live life to the full, returning to his Radio 2 show within just four months.
As an ambassador for The Aortic Dissection Charitable Trust, Bob will help to champion the charity’s work and drive change for those at risk of an aortic dissection.
