Who we are

We are a multi-disciplinary, award-winning team of nurses, physiotherapists, exercise physiologists, counsellors, cardiac rehab assistants, cardiac rehabilitation practitioners, administrators and volunteers who work with a wide range of cardiac patients across east Kent. Our aim is to help people return to good health and make lifestyle changes that maintain or improve their quality of life. We see patients in their own homes, outpatient clinics in health centres and GP practices and in community venues.

What we do

We promote secondary prevention through lifestyle changes and offer physical, social and psychological rehabilitation through a range of options. We offer an eight-week exercise programme for anyone who has suffered from a heart attack, angioplasty, bypass surgery, a heart transplant or one of a number of other conditions. We also provide a comprehensive education programme, stress management and referral to other health care professionals.

How do you use this service?

What are the benefits

  • A better understanding of your condition, the risk factors and how to build healthier heart habits
  • Reduced cholesterol and blood pressure
  • Improved energy and strength, increasing physical activity levels
  • Reduced stress and anxiety and help to regain confidence.

After the programme it is vital to carry on with regular exercise and a healthy lifestyle. Doing this will help protect your heart and reduce your risk of further heart problems.

The exercise session gave me confidence to carry on doing normal activities, without worrying I would be doing too much. The talks are very enlightening.
