Support groups
The Cardiac Support Group
The Cardiac Support Group provides a social and educational forum for cardiac patients and their partners. Monthly meetings in the hospital conference centre offer an opportunity to hear talks from doctors and other hospital staff about aspects of rehabilitation and cardiac medicine.
Meetings are also enjoyable social occasions where experiences can be shared and support given.
Social events are arranged from time to time often raising welcome funds for the hospice.
