Arrhythmia Awareness Week 2007 Success
Thank you to all our supporters who helped to make this event such a success. We exceeded the number of events held last year with over 260 held at hospitals and within the community all over the UK. As well as events, many of our supporters distributed specific packs to GPs (approximately 300) again all over the country, reaching out to a huge section of Primary Care which was one of our main aims this year in highlighting better understanding and diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmias. Arrhythmia Awareness Week 2007 did not just concentrate on raising awareness in the UK but for the first time we promoted a World Heart Rhythm Day. A number of organisations from Europe, USA, South Africa, New Zealand and Australia joined forces to highlight the need for greater awareness. Click here for more information.

Arrhythmia Awareness Week 2007 was launched at Westminster on 13th June and was attended by a selection of members from STARS as well as doctors, nurses, MPs and representatives from 10 different European countries. Presentations were given by John Maples, MP for Stratford upon Avon, Professor John Camm, President of Arrhythmia Alliance Executive Committee, Roger Boyle and Mike Yates, from the Department of Health and Richard Schilling, Consultant Cardiologist from St Bartholomew’s Hospital. The reception was a great success and it was highlighted by the speakers that the charity is growing from strength to strength and also internationally! We will use the success of this year’s campaign to help us make Arrhythmia Awareness Week 2008 even bigger and better!
Together we really are making a difference.
