Where you'll be working:

The Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR) service at Sutherland Hospital provides a recovery program for cardiac patients recently discharged from hospital following a Myocardial Infarction, revascularisation, or heart surgery etc. The CR staff liaise closely with cardiology staff across Yarrabee, the Coronary Care Unit and the Sutherland Heart Clinic for patient referrals and ongoing staff education.

The CR team consists of a Clinical Nurse Consultant, a Clinical Nurse Specialist, an Exercise Physiologist, and an Administration 0fficer. This close team strives to maximise each patient’s recovery with support, education, and exercise. The program offers patients individualised assessments and exercise prescription as well as group education and ongoing support intervention via virtual telehealth service or in person gym classes. Both telehealth and face to face are offered after consultation and in regard to their goals and requirements. The weekly supervised gym program provides a safe environment to help our patients with confidence to be able to exercise independently and awareness of heart health.
