Cardiac Rehabilitation and the Heartful dodgers appeal

The Heartful dodgers appeal aims to raise £60,000 to improve cardiac care in Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucester.

What the appeal will do

• Extend services to patients in places such as Kingswood and Clevedon.

• Start a brand new service for local patients who have mobility issues.

• Create new services for other groups of cardiac patients such as patients who have had stents inserted.

• We will be able to buy new equipment for local patients including ECG machines, oxygen saturation monitors and heart rate monitors.

About the Heartful dodgers appeal

The Heartful dodgers appeal is being run by the North Bristol NHS Trust Cardiac Rehabilitation team. The team of Nurse Specialists and Exercise Specialists care for patients and families in North Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucester who have had a heart attack or coronary artery bypass surgery.
