Would you like to help with local screening for AF?

Hi All,

we have had 4 offers- many thanks. Am posting the original again as soon gets lost- any one who hasn't seen and would like to help do let me know.

Hi All,

We had our second screening event in Epsom last Thursday- world stroke day- and found 3 new cases of AF one of Flutter and 9 other heart abnormalities that needed attention.

I wonder if we could have a 'health Unlocked" day where people all over the UK ( and abroad if they wished!) could do a similar event.

It involves having a consultant to look at the ECGs on Alivecor-

If anyone is interested do let me know- we haven't found it hard to arrange and would be good fun if lots of us did it on the same day!!

best wishes,

Rosemary

Pending information of what is involved, I would like to help if I can, should you be holding an event in Stratford-upon-Avon.
