Using The Heart Manuals

The Heart Manual based approach to cardiac rehabilitation is flexible enough to be implemented in a hospital cardiology department , as a primary care initiative driven by individual general practices or throughout a whole NHS district or area. Most delivery models have been tried and have succeeded, but more recently the tendency has been for large scale implementation through primary care trusts or local health care co-operatives.

Delivery of the Heart Manual can be readily adapted to most settings by a trained facilitator, since it is equally effective either as a stand-alone programme or as an integral part of an existing cardiac rehabilitation system.
