This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a new program called HELP (Heart Failure Carer Support Programme) designed specifically for family members and friends who care for people with heart failure. The program includes six online educational sessions, an information booklet, and access to a support website, all designed to help carers look after themselves while supporting their loved ones. Researchers want to find the best way to offer this program to carers across the entire UK and measure how it affects both carers' wellbeing and their patients' health outcomes.
Many people with heart failure depend on family members and friends for support, but these carers often struggle with their own mental and physical health and feel unprepared for the role. This trial exists to test whether providing carers with proper education and support can help them feel more confident and prepared, while also improving outcomes for the patients they care for.

If you join as a carer, you will attend six weekly online sessions (about 1 hour each) focused on supporting yourself and your loved one, plus you'll have access to an educational booklet and website for additional information. You'll also complete some questionnaires and interviews at the start, during the program, right after it finishes (at 6 weeks), and again 6 months later so researchers can understand how the program affects your wellbeing and your loved one's health. The patients you care for will be invited to share their own health information during the same time periods.
