The motion

That the Parliament recognises that from 21 to 27 November 2022, AF Association hosts Global AF Aware Week (GAFAW) to raise awareness of atrial fibrillation (AF); notes what it sees as the importance of raising awareness of AF to identify the undiagnosed person living with AF and therefore save devastating consequences of AF related stroke; understands that the Stroke Association is supporting the AF Association to help the half a million people in the UK with undiagnosed atrial fibrillation, and encourages all to regularly check their pulse for irregularities.
