Patient Groups
Information and support groups provide an invaluable service to arrhythmia patients. Through literature, websites, events and meetings, groups present a forum for patients, their carers, friends and families to gain information, emotional support, share common experiences and learn more about their condition.
To this end, A-A is working with patients, carers and medical professionals to grow the existing network of arrhythmia patient groups in the UK.
Please find below the details of the patient groups with whom A-A is currently working. If you’d like more information, or would like to establish your own groups, please email us here or download our guide
