Promoting Excellence in Cardiovascular Disease Prevention and Rehabilitation
The BACPR
Standards and Core Components for
Cardiovascular Prevention and
Rehabilitation
Overview
 Aim of the BACPR Standards and Core
Components
 Background and evidence
 Introducing to the 2012 update of the BACPR
Standards and Core Components
 Shaping future service delivery
Aim
This second edition of the BACPR
Standards and Core Components
aims to ensure programmes are
clinically-effective, cost-effective
and achieve sustainable health
outcomes for patients.
7 core standards and 7 core components
are set out which aim to improve uptake
and quality of rehabilitation programmes

Cardiac Rehabilitation
defined by the WHO (1993)
“The sum of activities required to influence
favourably the underlying cause of the disease so
that (people) may, by their own efforts preserve
or resume when lost, as normal a place in the
community…
…it must be integrated within secondary
prevention services of which it forms one facet.”
The World Health Organisation (WHO). Cardiac rehabilitation and secondary prevention: long
term care for patients with ischaemic heart disease. Briefing letter. Regional office for Europe:
Copenhagen, Denmark; 1993.
Modern cardiovascular
prevention and rehabilitation
Modern CR is menu-based and patient centred, and provides a
pathway across the 7 stages from diagnosis to long term management.

The future for CR
Summary 1
 CR is one of the most clinically and
cost-effective therapeutic interventions in cardiovascular
disease management
 More living and surviving with CVD or heightened risk of
CVD
 Increased survival from CHD events means greater
numbers with heart failure in future
 CR shifting from a “survival of the fittest” goal (reduced
mortality) to one of prevention, chronic disease
management and morbidity reduction
UK Standards for CR – a brief history
 Number of cardiac rehabilitation programmes
expanded rapidly during 1980s and 90s
 BACR formed in 1992 and recognised the
importance of establishing guidelines for good
practice – 1995 publication of BACR
Guidelines for CR.
BACR Standards 2007
Core components:
 Lifestyle:
 Physical activity and exercise
 Diet and weight management
 Smoking cessation
 Education
 Risk factor management
 Psychosocial
 Cardio protective drug
therapy and implantable
devices
 Long-term management

The NHS for the future
 Has to save money, not just be more cost
effective
 Our goals for Cardiac rehab must include
 Preventing hospital re-admissions
 Preventing unnecessary appointments in primary care
 Educated patients knowing who to contact if
symptoms or condition changes
 A focus on managing chronic disease linked with or
causing CVD
Changes to the
Standards and Core Components
 Emphasis on:
Patient-centred approach
Biopsychosocial focus
Multidisciplinary team work
Health behaviour change and
Education at core of all components
– Recognition of the importance of
audit and evaluation
– Matched to DH Commissioning pack

BACPR Standards 2012
Patients, healthcare professionals and commissioners should expect the following from
high quality cardiac rehabilitation services
1. The delivery of seven core components employing an evidence-based
approach.
2. An integrated multidisciplinary team consisting of qualified and competent
practitioners, led by a clinical coordinator.
3. Identification, referral and recruitment of eligible patient populations.
4. Early initial assessment of individual patient needs in each of the core
components, ongoing assessment and reassessment upon programme
completion.
5. Early provision of a cardiac rehabilitation programme, with a defined pathway
of care, which meets the core components and is aligned with patient
preference and choice.
6. Registration and submission of data to the National Audit for Cardiac
Rehabilitation.
7. Establishment of a business case including a cardiac rehabilitation budget which
meets the full service cost.

The future for CR
Summary 2
Ensuring referral of all eligible patients by cardiologists and/or specialist
cardiovascular health care physicians to a prevention and rehabilitation
programme as a standard (not optional) policy that is held in the same regard as
the prescribing of cardioprotective medications.
Tighter control of service audit (e.g. through NACR), not only to ensure these
standards and core components are being met but to demonstrate that
improved practice, clinical effectiveness and health outcomes have been achieved
The continuing of a national campaign that raises the profile and need for
comprehensive integrated cardiovascular prevention and rehabilitation
programmes to be properly funded as a cost-effective means and obligatory
element to any modern cardiology or vascular health care service.
BACPR’s next steps
 Develop a set of performance indicators for the standards.
 Provide resources for service development e.g. tool-kits for
business case development, exemplary assessment frameworks
and mechanisms for effective knowledge transfer and training.
 Developing competency frameworks that are fully supported by
high quality education and training programmes and research
where required.
• Support the uptake of CR in groups that are currently not
represented or are under-represented
• Edit a book from BACPR giving more detail on the “how to” of
providing modern CR programmes.
