Day-to-day operating brief

What Cardiovascular Physiotherapist (Cardiac Rehab) work looks like in practice

A cardiovascular physiotherapist assesses exercise risk and guides monitored rehabilitation after cardiac events or procedures. Terms should cover emergency competence, physiological monitoring, group programmes, medicines awareness, community venues and referral criteria. Exercise sessions need a dependable response to symptoms and abnormal observations. Staff must know when to stop, when to seek medical review and what information follows the patient. Heart-rate response, perceived exertion, blood pressure and recovery should be interpreted against the individual's referral and medicines.

Responsibilities reflected in the contract

Assess functional capacity and cardiac rehabilitation risk.
Plan and progress supervised exercise sessions.
Monitor symptoms and physiological response appropriately.
Provide approved activity and self-management education.
Maintain accurate attendance and outcome records.
