Describes the rehabilitation programme at her hospital.

 



And we're fortunate enough at our hospital to have a cardiac rehab department where patients go for 7 weeks. There's 2 sessions a week, 14 sessions in all. 7 sessions in all but it's divided into 14 different sections and everybody who comes away from that has a handout, details of all sort of things, you know, lifestyles and risks, health risks. It's a long time since I've been so I don't know quite what they do now but when I used to help out there we even used to have a bread-making morning, which was great fun because not only was it getting you motivated but it was social as well. That was very good. But they do an hour's exercise and then an hour lecture and as I say, everybody that comes out from a lecture has always got a handout.
