Heart Support Groups
There are also many other Heart Support Groups around the country. Some are small and provide monthly meetings for social support. Others provide social outings, newsletters and walking groups. Finally there are quite large organisations like MK Community Cardiac Group which offer regular exercise sessions on top of all the other activities.
Below are links to the websites of a couple of groups we know about, but others can be found via an Internet search:

Links in Milton Keynes
Our Members are associated with a wide range of Health Centres and Surgeries throughout Milton Keynes and the surrounding area. We're working on developing a good relationship with these surgeries and spreading the word about what we can offer here at Milton Keynes Community Cardiac Group. Part of that process is to have reciprocal links on each other's websites, for example the Red House Surgery in Bletchley:
