Free event: Caring for Your Heart: Understanding Common Cardiac Conditions

Spire Dunedin Hospital is hosting a free health talk on common cardiac conditions on Thursday 12 November, from 6:30pm to 7:30pm. It's called Caring for Your Heart, and it's open to anyone in Reading who wants to get a better handle on how the heart works and what happens when things go wrong.

The talk is led by Charles McKenna, a Consultant Cardiologist. Having a consultant run the session means you're getting the information straight from someone who treats these conditions every day, rather than a general overview. He'll be talking through the most common cardiac conditions, so it's a good spot to pick up the basics if you've ever wondered about the different ways heart health can shift over time.

It's a one-hour session, which is long enough to cover the main points without taking up your whole evening. Since it's a talk rather than a clinic, it's more about listening and learning than anything else. If you've been meaning to understand more about heart health but haven't known where to start, this is a straightforward way to do it.

It runs at Spire Dunedin Hospital in Reading on Thursday 12 November, 6:30pm to 7:30pm, and it's free to attend.
