There are three phases to cardiac rehabilitation. Phase 1 involves inpatient care
within a hospital after a person has suffered a cardiac event, phase 2 involves
outpatient care after discharge from hospital and phase 3 is a community oriented
programme. Although encouraged to do so, heart event patients may not progress
from one phase to the next.
3
A local community is a community defined by the geographic and demographic
boundaries that influence its behavioural norms. For example, a community within a
given suburb in a metropolitan area whose elderly members typically complete most
of their activities within their suburb or a neighbouring suburb.
4
Community oriented programmes usually occur in fitness clubs, community centres,
community halls and church facilities. The focus of these programmes is the
rehabilitation and prevention of cardiac disease in the community. Phase 3 cardiac
clubs achieve this aim through the delivery of programmes that focus on providing
exercise, education and emotional support to its members.
5
A cardiac club leader is typically a person with specialist skills and/or knowledge in
the fitness or health sectors, such as a fitness instructor or nurse, or those with first
hand experience of cardiac disease. A cardiac club leader is expected to have the
time and energy required to set up a club, plan its activities, seek support for the
club, enthuse new and existing members, review the club’s activities and follow
through on the club’s start-up plan.
6
Legal structure refers to whether the cardiac club operates as an incorporated
society, an unincorporated society or as a registered charity.

Competence in this unit standard may require the National Heart Foundation’s ‘Club
