Patients Views
The whole course was excellent. I would like to
believe that because this course can improve
peoples lifestyle it follows that fewer will
return to hospital thereby reducing pressure on
the NHS. I found them to be interesting and I
came away with a keen interest in looking at the
way myself and my family live our lives and
making positive changes to reduce the chances of
a future attack This is an excellent facility
not only on a practical level, but the benefit of
the moral support of Clare, Rachel and Pip and
the group cannot be overstated. It has helped to
boost my confidence and is a good stepping stone
back to full integration into normal life again.
