Long-term conditions
Heart failure care at home
Monitoring and support for heart failure at home.
From £95
This is not an emergency service. If someone has chest pain, stroke signs, severe breathing difficulty, heavy bleeding or collapse, call 999 or go to A&E. We work alongside the NHS, not instead of it.
About this service
Heart failure care at home focuses on the boring things that keep people out of hospital: daily weight, swelling, medicines, and a visit when the family sees a change. It sits beside NHS heart failure nurses, not in place of them.
Is this right for me?
- Known heart failure with a family helper
- Difficulty getting to clinic
- A recent admission and a thin week at home

Can you change heart failure medicines?
Sometimes, via our GP, in line with the existing plan. Major changes belong with the NHS heart failure team.
