Cardiac rehabilitation

We run a referral based programme called Cardiac Rehab Phase 4.

The scheme, which has a cost:

• Helps rehabilitate patients who currently have or have had recent heart procedures or events.
• Is often a follow-on from Phase 3 participation. Phase 3 is run by nursing teams after discharge from hospital.
• Combines a mixture of cardiovascular and strength exercises to help in your rehabilitation and progress for exercise continuation.
