A Bradford Cardiac Rehabilitation Team has received a national award for the service it delivers to patients.
The team, based at St Luke’s Hospital and Queensbury Health Centre, provides a vital service in the community to get people back on their feet when they leave hospital after a heart attack, heart surgery or coronary intervention procedure.
It has now received ‘gold standard’ accreditation from the National Association of Cardiac Rehabilitation’s (NACR) national audit of cardiac rehabilitation.
Cardiac Rehabilitation team leader, Sue Crossley, said: “We consistently deliver a really good service to patients and the accreditation reflects the hard work of every single member of the team.”
“It’s been a difficult job to develop a template to submit our data to the audit, but we’ve had fantastic help from Mel Armas, senior business intelligence analyst, and we’re the first team nationally to upload our data direct from SystmOne (clinical computer software).”
