CARERS, familes and friends of patients with heart related health conditions are invited to a carers evening at the cardiology department at Taunton’s Musgrove Park Hospital.

The drop in evening, from 5.30pm to 7pm on Tuesday, May 19, will feature representatives from various charities, including the British Heart Foundation and the British Red Cross, who will talk about the support, information, training and services they offer.

Musgrove Park Hospital’s BHF Arrhythmia Nurse, Janice Bailey, says: “We are hoping this informal event will really help carers and families link up with local support services in Somerset, and enable them to access the advice and support that is available to them.

“Light refreshments will be served during the evening and we look forward to welcoming all who plan to attend.”
