We love getting feedback so we know that what we offer really makes a difference. Why not sign us up to work with your heart support group #hearthealth

Do you know anyone who may benefit from this? These sessions are free and aim to help people with heart conditions navigate the resources they have/need and the support they have/need to improve quality of life. Get in touch to find out more or email [email protected]

Why do I meet so many people who have struggled with their emotions post a cardiac event and yet there seems to be nothing out there to support them ..... still? #reasonsweexist #wemustdobetter #helponhand #MentalHealthMatters #mentalhealth

Atrial fibrillation is a common irregular heart beat that increases the risk of stroke. Many people report that stress triggers their AF. In recent years studies are starting to look at how we can mediate the association using different means. What works for you? ❤️

Bringing mental health into focus as a risk factor for, & a consequence of #atrialfibrillation. #Anxiety is part of this & finding useful resources, good support & ways to feel in control is all part of living well with this condition. #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #heretohelp

People with #AFib consistently say the impact is huge. So a welcome study but also a ‘so what’ moment to ask ‘so what about those who cannot have ablation or have an unsuccessful ablation’ How are we going to support them and support all right from early diagnosis. The Heart Coach

Quality of Life is massively affected for those of us who have #afib. And whilst many studies have sought to find ways to address this, there’s no one solution or magic fix. I’d love to hear from you if you have ideas and thoughts on this! #cardiac #atrialfibrillation

Attended the AF Association patient day today. So much trauma, anxiety & worry in the room needing much needed educational information, coping strategies, support with living well with the condition, access to MDT’s with qualified psychological practitioners etc.
