The National Audit of Cardiac Rehabilitation (NACR) is a BHF funded strategic project that combines data from cardiac rehabilitation programmes across England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The NACR Quality and Outcomes Report 2021 presents service data from the first full year of delivery in the covid-19 era, detailing the impact of the pandemic on patient access, workforce and alternative modes of delivery. The report cites a number of key recommendations and actions to support the future delivery of cardiac rehabilitation services.
Covid-19 has had a devastating impact on cardiovascular care. You can discover the broader extent of this disruption and what needs to be done to build a stronger and more resilient cardiovascular health system that gives all heart patients the support they need in our Untold Heartbreak report.
The BHF would like to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of our colleagues working in the care system, supporting patients through these unprecedented times.
