Arrhythmia aware

Afib awareness.

I'm sure some of you have seen the UK news today about heart arrhythmia's. It was on the Midlands local news - young people are dying (in their 20's) because it's not sussed.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. There MUST be more awareness about afib or any heart arrhythmia's.

Enough said.

I'm sure we all do our bit to educate those around us. We have come a long way since 2007 and dragged the government along with us but it all takes time Paul.

Money and people effort too! Many support groups have developed with help from the AFA. The one I am involved with has managed to hold on average 10 meetings a year since June 2014 and pre Covid, 30 to 40 attendees were not unusual but with the current pressure on medics, things are far more difficult at the moment. Maybe folk here could come up with some suggestions on how best to spread the word, but I guess we also need to bear in mind there are thousands of good causes out there, all seeking to make their voices heard......

Hi Hugo.

It was on the local Midlands news (UK). I've just Googled it but can't find the link. My post was 2 days ago - do you have 'catch up' on your tablet or computer ? If so you'll find the programme. For sure it's there and you can see what they say.

I'll have another look and edit the post to include the link if I can find it.
