Once the team have received the referral, they will telephone the person to introduce themselves, discuss any concerns or worries and inform them of the programme. A pre programme assessment date is discussed on the telephone which is confirmed with a letter. Patients attend for a pre programme assessment usually 2-3 weeks post MI or PCI and 4-6 weeks post cardiac surgery. The assessment will take pace at Ysbyty Ystrad Fawr in Ystrad Mynach.
