In the beginning.....
.....the origins of the association began in 1989 when around 30 heart transplants from various UK hospitals decided to enter as a UK Team in the first European Heart Transplant Games which were held in Gorssel, Netherlands. Following the success of those Games and the following Games held in Paris in 1990 a loose knit group of British transplants and friends organised the 3rd European Heart Transplant Games in 1991 which were held in Hayes, Middlesex.
Since then the BHLTA has been a key member of the European Federation.
