A support group for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) is meeting on 27th January at 1.30pm.
Facilitated by cardiac physiologist Helen Hodgson, the Frome AF support group offers information about AF and the opportunity to meet other patients and carers to share experiences.
The meeting will include open questions and group discussion. Preferably, email your questions in advance to helen.hodgson3@nhs.net
Helen Hodgson says, “People diagnosed with AF often have many questions. My aim is to help provide them with the knowledge they need to support each other through their own experiences.”

Arrhythmias (heart rhythm disorders) affect over two million people in the UK and atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia. People aged 40 and over have a one in four lifetime risk of developing AF and an increased risk of a life threatening AF-related stroke – the most severe type of stroke.
The support group meeting will take place on Monday 27th January at 13.30-15.00 at Frome Medical Practice, Enos Way, Frome.BA11 2FH.
