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.
