The community cardiac rehabilitation service was developed in response to a growing need for more cardiac rehabilitation programmes for a wider range of cardiac conditions which were unable to be accommodated in the acute hospital programmes and to offer a menu of options for delivery of programmes closer to the patient’s own home.
