The Sudden Arrhythmia Death Syndromes (SADS) Foundation was established on December 12, 1991 by G. Michael Vincent, M.D. and several dedicated co-founders. Our Mission is to save the lives of children and young adults who are genetically predisposed or otherwise susceptible to sudden death due to cardiac arrhythmias and to provide education and support to families and the medical community who are dealing with these disorders.
Alderhey Children’s Hospital
Website of the Children’s hospital in West Derby, Liverpool. Alder Hey was founded in 1914, and is regarded as the largest children’s hospital in Western Europe.

Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital
Website of Guy’s and St Thomas’ hospital. The site provides information on the hospital Trust and the range of clinical services which the Trust offers.
Counselling Directory
The purpose of the site is ultimately to provide the UK with a huge counselling support network, enabling those in distress to find a counsellor close to them and appropriate for their needs. This is a free, confidential service that will hopefully encourage those in distress to seek help. The website also contains a number of sections on emotional disorders (types of distress section) and provides some useful statistics. Every counsellor on the site who has submitted their profile has either sent a copy of their qualifications and insurance cover to us, or is registered with a professional body online with recognised codes of ethics and practice, this way we can be assured of their professionalism.
