Cardiac Rehab in HF Stage 1 Survey

Stage 1 of the national survey included all centres that provided phase 3 rehabilitation in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland registered on the National Audit of Cardiac Rehabilitation (NACR) database funded by the British Heart Foundation. Each centre was sent a 17 item, one page postal questionnaire that asked respondents to indicate whether they routinely provided a cardiac rehabilitation service for patients with heart failure and to identify and give brief details about barriers to provision of such a service. The stage 1 questionnaire was mailed out by the NACR office in York (A copy of the stage 1 questionnaire is included as an appendix to the main paper ).
