Next month, thousands of delegates will gather at the annual Heart Rhythm Congress at The ICC, Birmingham UK.
Professor John Camm the President of Arrhythmia Alliance says: “HRC is the meeting for all of us who are involved in the care of patients suffering from cardiac rhythm disorders - nowhere else can we meet with everyone concerned from administrators and managers to industry, through to doctors, nurses and cardiac physiologists to patients and their carers”.

Global AF Aware Week 20-26 November 2017
Detect, Protect, Correct & Perfect

Atrial Fibrillation, or AF, is the most common arrhythmia (heart rhythm disorder). Over one million people have been diagnosed with AF in the UK alone, although experts estimate that at least a third more remain undiagnosed. With an ageing population, this number is expected to double by 2050. 

For this reason, this year we are focusing on ‘Identifying the Undiagnosed Person with AF’ with our Detect, Protect, Correct & Perfect campaign. Therefore we are asking all of our supporters to spread the word, whether this is by putting up a simple poster or holding an awareness activity.

CCG variation ‘The North-South NHS Divide: how where you are not what you need dictates your care’ has now been released.

Please see the report online here . The report highlights regional disparities in commissioning and waiting times in the areas most relevant to medical technology. The report looked at NHS 18 Week RTT results and the Atlas of Variation to get an overview of how each CCG was performing- this highlighted a north-south divide in favour of the north.
