What We Actually Do?
Well, we are always there to talk about any of your concerns regarding cardiac problems although we obviously cannot answer any medical questions – only your medical practitioner can do this.
We can however talk about our experiences following Angina, Heart Attacks, Angioplasty or Heart Surgery as we have many members who have been there. We can also provide support to your partner/carer.
We have avail\able leaflets and newsletters supplied from the British Heart Foundation.
Hale & Hearties also publish a quarterly newsletter keeping members advised of future events etc.
