News of our adaptation to remote AF screening - and a lovely blog from @rak_modi

Why ‘case finding’ is bad science - ⁦@mgtmccartney⁩ ⁦@felly500⁩, Sam Finnikin, Harriet Hunt, Mike McHugh, ⁦⁦@muirgray⁩ - we need evidence before implementation, including for atrial fibrillation ⁦@SAFER_Study⁩ journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

We are fortunate to be working with Amrit and his amazing team @wansfordsurgery on the @SAFER_Study —congratulations on your well-deserved award
