National Heart Month

 National Heart Month  

February 2023  

 

February is Heart Month! You may automatically associate that with Valentine’s Day, and whilst that is all well and good, it is the health of the heart as an organ which takes centre stage this month.  Heart and circulatory diseases affect millions in the UK.  Heart Month was launched by the British Heart Foundation to raise awareness of the many different types of heart conditions.
