How We Help
The most disturbing aspect of heart disease is
the uncertainty regarding symptoms and worry as to the future.
The greatest benefit to be obtained is to meet other people, apparently
fit and leading a relatively full life, and to find that they have
experienced similar problems to yourself.
The intention is to provide support after the patient leaves hospital
and to continue this through the recovery period.
Patients are encouraged to join the Support Group so that they can
receive ongoing advice and guidance leading to a greater under-standing,
increased confidence and a fuller life.
Some of our members feel that being involved with the Support Group has
been the biggest single step to psychological recovery.
The Support Group is run by an elected committee of Trustees, with teams
responsible for social, fund raising and welfare activities.
