The North Tyneside community cardiology team provide a range of services if you are suffering from coronary heart disease. This might include rehabilitation after a heart attack or heart surgery, care if you’ve had heart failure and home visits following surgery. 

You can be referred into cardiac rehabilitation programmes following a heart attack, angioplasty/stent or heart surgery through your hospital doctor or GP. 

You can see the community matron for heart failure services through your GP, consultant cardiologist or district nurse.

If you live in Northumberland please visit our cardiac rehabilitation page for information on the service available to you.
