Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm UK

A newly-formed patient group raising awareness of AAA and promoting policies which will improve the experiences of AAA patients across the UK.

Great to see @CircFoundation celebrating #VascularAwarenessMonth through their #TheBodyWalk Campaign which challenges healthcare professionals, patients, and carers to collectively walk, run, cycle or swim the 60,000 miles that make up the human body’s circulation

Great to see more organisations helping inform and empower patients of AAA to understand their condition better https://t.co/yRzdXnGSZ3

In this video, our Patient Affairs Officer Les Ruffell explains how he'd never heard of an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm until he was invited for screening. Les' aneurysm was detected via screening like 1,542 others were in 2022 https://t.co/yriNjdMlrY

An untreated Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm can be life-threatening so diagnosing an AAA in its early stages is the key to ensuring the best outcome. Watch our Patient Affairs Officer discuss advice on AAA screening https://t.co/c7LquFoqEJ

[Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm UK @TheAAAUK]

@TheAAAUK is excited to give representation to AAA patients and their loved ones and provide a platform for national discussion on the impact of, and potential policy changes relating to the condition. Watch why Les Ruffell got involved in AAAUK https://t.co/MG89BgERLV

It has now been 2 weeks since our official launch in Westminster as the first advocacy group for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm patients. It was great to see this come to fruition with @VirendraSharma hosting and so many patient voices leading the discussion.

[Gareth Owens @Icarus1054]

Wishing @TheAAAUK every success. The UK now has a strong patient voice for #AorticDissection via @AorticDissectUK and for AAA via @TheAAAUK, with great connection & collaboration between the two.

[Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm UK @TheAAAUK]

It was great to see so many interested and engaged patients providing thought provoking discussions with clinicians and parliamentarians at our official launch in Westminster, including @RegentLee with Sir @PBottomleyMP

[Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm UK @TheAAAUK]

Many thanks to all those who supported @AAAUK official launch in Westminster as the first advocacy group for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm patients. It was great have @VirendraSharma hosting, alongside @jimshannonMP, Usman Jaffer, @DuyguYenidogan and Les Ruffell

Diagnosing an AAA in its early stages is the key to ensuring the best outcome, as an untreated AAA can be life-threatening. Often an AAA “gives no symptoms, and then suddenly it’s a crisis”. Read about AAA patient Brian's story from diagnosis to treatment. https://t.co/530nIq2LFa

[Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm UK @TheAAAUK]

@aaa__uk serves a dual purpose: to provide a forum for support, information and advice for people affected by AAA; and to advocate for the interests of people living with AAA with stakeholders in Government, the NHS and wider society. Visit our website at https://t.co/KnQlzQfXcQ
