Have a Heart Paisley’s Health at Heart Centre offers a menu based cardiac rehabilitation programme at the Royal Alexandra Hospital.

The programme offers extended cardiac rehabilitation services to all patients who are seen in the hospital with a new diagnosis or worsening of heart disease. The variety of classes available at the purpose-built Health at Heart Centre has widened to suit individual needs. These changes have resulted in a dramatic increase in the number of people attending the exercise classes.

This hospital based cardiac rehabilitation programme is now being expanded into the community setting in order to ensure that as many patients as possible access the service. Community based cardiac rehabilitation will be targeted to those most suitable to exercise in that environment and it is hoped that this new opportunity will increase the number of patients attending and completing the programme.

Those patients identified as being most suitable for hospital-based cardiac rehabilitation will continue to be seen in the hospital setting and services at the RAH are being further developed as part of this new phase of work.
