Heart Care Reopening Notice

Update 9th April
 

We look forward to welcoming patients safely back to the Unit on 12 April (13 April for Streetly) albeit on a booking system with limited spaces initially.  Can we please remind you, if you haven’t booked you will not be allowed to exercise.  Bookings for Walsall can be made on 01922 725050.

We know that many of you will have had at least one COVID vaccine jab but can we remind you that whilst you are in our Unit ‘Hands, Face and Space’ still remain absolutely necessary.  Please read our Covid guidelines below before attending the unit.

As previously PLEASE STAY IN YOUR CAR UNTIL TOLD TO GO INTO THE UNIT BY A MEMBER OF STAFF.

Do not attend the Unit until 48 hours after having a COVID vaccine jab.

Streetly Patients

Heart Care Streetly will re-open on Tuesday 13th April.  As before patients must be booked in for an appointment before attending.  Those that were booked in before lockdown will be contacted by a member of staff to make a new booking. If you were not booked in before lockdown and would like to attend then please contact Sarah Heard on 07484 022445.
 

Tai Chi

Tai-Chi classes will remain on-line for the time-being but we are hoping to open classes at our units when restrictions are lifted.

Thank you for your co-operation and we look forward to seeing you all!

 

Update 25th March 2021

PATIENT NOTICE - We are aiming to reopen our doors at Heart Care on Monday 12 April (Tuesday 13 April for Streetly), provided there are no changes to the Government's roadmap and we are keeping a close on the latest guidelines.

We will be operating on a pre-bookable basis as before and we will start to take bookings for After Care Patients as follows:-

WALSALL

Please call the unit from Tues 6th April on 01922 725050 to make a booking.

STREETLY
Patients will be contacted by our staff at Streetly - if any patient would like to attend that was not previously booked in before, please conact Sarah on 07484 022445.

Staff will review your original questionnaire before booking you an initial time. Can we please emphasise that we will NOT allow anyone who has not booked an appointment into any of our units, as our procedures will remain the same as previously. Further details on re-opening will be communicated nearer the time of re-opening.

Thank you to you all for your continued support and we very much look forward to welcoming you back to Heart Care safely again.

Update 4th January 2021

England will be in a National Lockdown from Wednesday 6th January which means gyms cannot open so Heart Care has to remain shut for After Care Patients. We are of course following government guidelines and ask you to keep up to date with our website www.heartcare.org.uk and Facebook pages for a notice of when we are allowed to open. Whilst we are temporarily closed we still strongly ecourage you to take part in our exercise videos, go for walks and keep active. We also have an excellent Web-based Programme for After Care Patients designed by our Exercise Physiologists and you can join this at a monthly charge of just £15.00.

December Update

Following the recent government announcement, the Trustees at Heart Care Healthy Living have given the situation a lot of thought and consideration and consequently have decided not to reopen our Walsall and Streetly units for After Care Patients at this time.  The reasoning behind this is due to the fact that our Christmas closing time runs from 21st December to 4th January, therefore we would have only been able to re-open for 2 weeks prior to this date anyway.  The government website states that people who wish to 'bubble' for Christmas need to be thinking about this 2 weeks before and we are mindful that some of our patients may be wanting to do this and therefore this is a major factor in making the decision to close.  We will review the situation week commencing 4th January hopefully with a view to being able to re-open early January dependant on government guidelines. 

We can understand that many of you will be dissapointed with the decison but I am sure you can understand our reasonong behind it.  We are also mindful that some of you are still continuing with your monthly subscriptions and want to say that we are extremely grateful for your continued support. 

As a charity we are currently going though a period of hardship and any support you can give to support our Heart Care Emegency appeal is greatly appreciated.  Whilst we are temporarily closed we still strongly ecourage you to take part in our exercise videos, go for walks and keep as active as you can.  You can also follow us on Facebook and Twitter.  

Web Based Programme

Please don’t forget, we do have an excellent Web-based Programme for After Care Patients designed by our Exercise Physiologists and you can join this at a monthly charge of just £15.00.
