In partnership with NW Hearts Charity, we are running a Patient Support Group for those living with a cardiac condition in the Wigan area.
- Find out how to live well with your cardiac condition
- Meet others with shared experiences
- Guest speakers
- Drinks and refreshments provided
Who is the group for?
Anyone can attend the patient support group who is affected by a cardiac condition, including relatives.
We are running three condition-specific groups:
- Heart Failure: For those who have been diagnosed with heart failure or poor heart functioning.
-
Ischaemic Heart Disease: For those living with angina or who have had a heart attack
-
Arrhythmias: For those living with an arrhythmia, have a pacemaker or implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD)
Please note you are more than welcome to join any of the groups if you wish. Sometimes, the guest-speakers will be more relevant to particular health condition listed.
If your cardiac condition isn't listed, please contact us so we can look at setting up a relevant group. You are more than welcome to join one of our other groups.
