"By adding in extra cardiac classes, it will allow us to help even more people access the specialist support they need."

All cardiac classes are via NHS referral. If you’re interested in attending one of the sessions, please contact your GP who can begin the referral process, or contact the team at the Aquadrome, who will be able to offer support.

The borough council's cabinet member for sports, leisure and culture, Cllr Kerry Morrow, said: "It is great news that more cardiac rehabilitation classes are being launched at the Aquadrome, helping to meet the large demand for this vital specialist support."
