If you live in Surrey, you may like to come to our monthly Arrhythmia Support group-

The first meeting is on 16th July at 5pm, Epsom Old Town Hall.

A local Cardiologist is providing Clinical Leadership and they'll be a series of talks on variety of subjects- may be debates on subjects such as ablation, warfarin v NOACs etc! Also time for tea and mutual support.

Please see website Surreyasg.co.uk for more details

Hi Rosy -- I hope your support group is better than the one in Worthing started earlier in the year. They were only interested in ICD patients , so big disa ppointment. Sandra

There isn't a support group in Milton Keynes either, except for one for ICD people too.

I think this is excellent Rosy, more power to all who have founded it we need more of them.

Like Bob's group my Nosh and Natter is merely social and I applaud this sort of group.

Yatsura- we're mainly for arrhythmia patients but will, of course, include any cardiac patients as they can have tea with us and ask questions of the clinicians as they see fit- we know it might take time for the group to grow but the local voluntary co-ordinator is sending info out to members and the hospital will give details to patients!! We'll either get no-one or too many to fit into the room available!!

Bob and Ian- we got the idea for this because this forum has been, as you know, so very helpful to us all- also meeting with Ian's group in london and on the AF day in November has been great,

Any new AF patients will be immediately directed to this site- hope you don't suddenly get a lot of extra questions to answer or we won't be too popular!!!!

So pleased to learn of this group. I have been searching and was preparing myself for a trip to Brighton, which has one. I think Epsom may be easier for me to get to and the parking has got to be easier!

that's great Peddling- do ring me ( details on website) and I'll let you know more about it.

We're hoping to have some really good talks- the cardiologist is very keen!! His arrrhythmia nurses are going to help too.

Great idea, it's in my diary.
