Who we are and how we help
The Cardiac Rehabilitation team cares for people with heart disease. Our aim is to empower people to self-manage their condition and recover from a serious cardiac event such as heart attack or unstable angina.
We offer a Cardiovascular Disease Prevention and Rehabilitation Programme which is designed to help you recover from a heart problem, improve your physical health and your quality of life.
All programmes offer:
• Cardiovascular Exercise
• Education
• Risk Factor Management
• Stress Management and Relaxation
• Support
Our services
All our programmes start with an individual assessment, either face-to-face, by phone or video consultation, and we will work with you to set some goals and choose from the programmes available. During your programme we continue to offer support.
We develop a tailored rehab plan offering cardiac exercise, education and relaxation training. We offer telephone and video calls, web-based programmes, exercise videos, a walking programme, education and support via Microsoft Teams and home visits where needed. Typically, people spend 2-3 months on their rehab programme. When the programme has finished we liaise with other healthcare providers, such as GPs, about ongoing care and needs.
