Team up with Royal United Hospital to tackle heart disease

The 'Super Rehab' research team from Bath's Royal United Hospital and the University. A collaborative project led by the RUH is spearing a new innovative lifestyle intervention Super Rehab to save lives and reduce hospital procedures. A pioneering new approach to tackle heart disease using a pre-emptive, lifestyle, and behaviour change programme is being trialled by a research team from the Royal United Hospital (RUH) Bath NHS Foundation Trust with academics at the University of Bath. The programme, called -Super Rehab- , is all about testing the impact of a high-level, well-resourced, one-to-one support for patients with heart disease. This offers more than advice; instead providing a tailored dietary and exercise programme personalised to individuals with support to make sure the changes are practical and can become part of a daily routine. Working in partnership with the University, with support from the hospital charity RUHX, the RUH team are working towards offering Super Rehab to patients earlier in the evolution of their forms of heart disease. This aims to halt its progression, help patients feel better, and potentially even reverse the disease process.
