"Calm, knowledgeable and patient cardiac rehab team"

My husband had a heart attack in January 2023. Subsequent to his hospital experience (already fed back positively via Care Opinion) he met and was supported by members of the NHS Tayside outpatient Cardiology team, particularly nurse Aimee and physiotherapist Keri.

My husband made a good start to his recovery but suffered a fairly significant set back in March 2023. Particularly since then, we feel the level of care extended towards us both by Aimee and Keri has been exceptional. He struggled with various frightening symptoms at that time and in the following several months, and this included heart-related symptoms as well as significant health related anxiety.

It seemed to us as if Aimee and Keri were always available as required. Super knowledgeable, they remained calm and patiently listened to e.g. symptoms and changes (at times more than once I'm sure) and they always responded with clearly understandable information, allaying ongoing fears.

Aimee also supported GPs in relation to my husband's ongoing care, including medication tweaking and similar, and was highly proactive in doing so. Keri continues to support his rehab and has been instrumental in improving his fitness level as well as providing crucial support towards him reducing and managing anxiety. She has also ensured he is linked in with local fitness services.

We are very grateful to Aimee and Keri who always followed up after any concerns/contact leaving us both feeling reassured, supported and cared about. They also made sure my husband was referred for appropriate psychological support.
