This phase begins when the patient is referred back to the cardiac rehabilitation unit by his or her physician. An individual programme is tailored to individual requirements by resident physiotherapists. Patients are encouraged to follow the exercise routine three times a week, making use of the unit's facilities. Education and stress management are ongoing. A home programme provides support for patients who have attended the clinic for more than six months and who are able to exercise unsupervised at home.
Monitoring is conducted on a monthly basis or as needed.
The unit also offers cardio-pulmonary resuscitation training for patients and their families as well as family support therapy. The Flora Clinic has its own nursing training school. Through ongoing training of staff, the hospital aims to ensure quality nursing care - now and in the future.
