Cardiac Rehab CEO Sarah Quarterman said: "We feel sure our annual lecture will be of great interest, especially with the Post Office Horizon IT inquiry entering its closing stages this autumn."

The keynote speaker, Kay Linnell, a chartered accountant and certified fraud examiner, will share her insights into the investigation.

She will be joined by her business partner, Barbara Jeremiah.

Ms Linnell was immortalised in ITV's drama series, Mr Bates vs The Post Office, and continues to advocate for justice for those affected.

Ms Jeremiah is a company director and a retired magistrate, with qualifications in criminology and criminal justice.

They will both shed light on their probe into the scandal.

Tickets for the event cost £27.50 and are available from Cardiac Rehab's online shop.
