Just a quick reminder that the Blackrock Clinic Dublin will be holding a Heart Health Masterclass this coming Monday the 11th from 7 - 9pm in the Raddison Blu, St Helens Hotel, Stillorgan, Co. Dublin.

I will be speaking on getting to the root cause of heart disease, assessing your heart disease risk and how best to prevent heart disease. Prof Mathew McCauley, a clinical psychologist will also be speaking on best practices for behaviour change and Aisling Hennessy, senior physiotherapist, will be discussing exercise approaches to heart health.

This event is free to anyone who wishes to come along. This is an open event so you do not need to be an existing patient of the Blackrock Clinic and you can bring a friend or colleague if you wish; just make sure to register for your tickets.

For your free ticket, you just need to register by emailing equiry@blackrock-clinic.com or calling 1800 601 060.
