Please help raise awareness of AF and appropriate treatment

AF Association is seeking a willing and supportive spokesperson for a TV piece on AF ahead of the new NICE Guidelines on the condition, which are due to be released next week.

As part of the piece we are hoping to arrange filming with an AF patient who might have been prescribed aspirin and recently changed to an anticoagulant OR someone who is currently on aspirin and hoping to be prescribed an anticoagulant to help manage their personal risk of AF-related stroke. The piece will help inform viewers about the importance of seeking appropriate treatments and hopefully help raise awareness about AF.

If you live locally to London, or would like to share your account, please email vicki@afa.org.uk or call 01789 867 527.

AFA would like to thank everyone for supporting our work and offering to support us in raising the profile of the condition.
