As part of the SPH NSRF CRF-UCC seminar series, Aileen Callanan will present ‘Potential Impact of Atrial Fibrillation Screening in Ireland” on Tuesday 22nd August.
This seminar will discuss the impact associated with AF related stroke through the use of national data from the Irish National Audit of Stroke. The facilitators and barriers to AF screening in primary care identified through a qualitative study will also be described alongside a pilot AF screening study that recruited general practitioners (GPs) across Cork and Kerry.
