Cardiac rehabilitation is a professionally supervised programme that aims to help improve the health and well-being of people who have heart problems.
It involves a series of exercise and health education sessions that help you get back to everyday life as efficiently and successfully as possible after a heart attack or heart surgery.
“The sum of activities required to favourably influence the underlying cause of the disease, as well as the best possible physical, mental and social conditions, so that they may, by their own efforts, preserve or resume, when lost, as normal a place as possible in the community.” (World Health Organisation, 1993)
The Cardiac Rehabilitation Programme at North Bristol NHS Trust (NBT) is run by a team of Cardiac Rehabilitation Nurse Specialists and Exercise Specialists, with administrative support, and includes:
There is a growing body of good quality evidence within the international community to support the delivery of comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation services to patients. The findings of a meta-analysis of 37 trials (Dusseldorp et al 1999) suggest that a comprehensive programme of cardiac rehabilitation (including exercise, educational and/or psychological interventions) result in a 34% reduction in cardiac mortality and a 29% reduction in reoccurrence of myocardial infarction (heart attack).
The Cardiac Rehabilitation Service has been developed to support patients who have had a diagnosis of myocardial infarction (heart attack) or have undergone coronary artery bypass surgery, and live within the catchment area of the hospital.
Inpatient services are provided on Cardiac Care Unit (CCU)/ Acute Cardiology ward at Gate 27A, Level 4 of the Brunel building at Southmead Hospital.
Both areas provide specialised cardiology care in all areas of acute and interventional cardiology.
The nursing team is led by Sister Jennie Speedie and Matron Sarah Lidgett.
