Healthy Heart Programme

Bay veterans association healthy heart programme

Our Healthy Heart Programme was designed by our health and wellbeing coach, Shawn Duckers, and kindly sponsored by Bay Medical Group. The aim of the programme was to empower individuals who have been diagnosed as having Cardiovascular Disease, or may have had previously suffered serious medical episodes due to having chronic Cardiovasular Disease issues.

The programme was 12-weeks long and was a huge success! All six participants who engaged with the programme made tremendous  improvements to their health condition, not only physically, but also mentally.

As you can see from our infographic, not only were health improvements made to reduce their risk of developing further complications by tackling the underlying causes, participants also showed improvements to their overall mental health as a result of being empowered through knowledge.

This type of health intervention improves the quality of life for those who often generally believe they cannot recover from their condition, and will ultimately take huge amounts of pressure off the NHS.

If you would like to take a more in-depth look at the programme and its results, then please click the link below to view the report that was pieced together by Shawn following the completion of the programme.
