Atrial Fibrillation: Accessing Appropriate Treatment Options
AFA has heard from a growing number of members about the difficulties faced in accessing appropriate treatment options to manage their AF. At a time when the Government is pushing for greater patient choice and control over the management of their conditions, we believe that more needs to be done to empower patients to help achieve this goal. This is why we have produced this patient tool which will help you, the patient or the carer, to have greater control over your condition, and to help improve your quality of life.
