HEART ATTACK: Salman’s story

2nd October 2023Fitness, Medical, Patient information, Self care

Dear Patients,

This is Dr Salman Uddin one of the partners at the surgery and I have been working at this organisation since 2017. Some of you may know that I had a heart attack back in July 2020. This was a difficult experience, but I feel like it is also an opportunity for me to share my story in the hope that we can raise awareness of heart related conditions. I have been volunteering with the British Heart Foundation (BHF), and I was involved in producing a video for them. In addition they have also interviewed me, about my heart attack story, for a podcast called Ticker Tapes.

Please feel free to watch the video and listen to the podcast if you can.
