The event will be focusing on the commonalities in the areas of Cardiac, Pulmonary and Stroke Rehabilitation.

Our initial aim is to explore how combined/common approaches across the different disease areas might work and what benefits they could bring, particularly focussing on increasing opportunities for all patients to access services.

There is much emerging evidence that multi-morbidity focused rehabilitation can work well and, whilst we wholly acknowledge the need for disease specific rehabilitation to continue, we are hoping to bring together clinicians and interested parties to look at ways of bridging the gap for all patients, some of who may not have previously accessed any services for a variety of reasons.

As we look forward, it is also important that we are able to incorporate and help secure the positive changes you made during our COVID 19 response and not return to some of the difficulties we faced in our more ‘traditional’ way of working.

By moving forward with Let’s Talk Rehabilitation we very much hope to support you and our wider system to exploit some of the excellent innovations that have been put into services to date.
