Who can join?

The Phoenix Club aims to attract individuals from the following groups.

• Individuals who already exhibit symptoms of Coronary Heart Disease and are currently undergoing treatment OR have previously undergone treatment advised by their general practitioner or a specialist.
• Individuals who have undergone any type of intervention (surgical or otherwise) as a result of Coronary Heart Disease.
• If capacity allows we can accept inactive (sedentary) individuals with a potential risk factor profile for Coronary Heart Disease. This might include the following: overweight, elevated blood pressure, stress, smoker, family history of heart disease. However, priority will be given to patients with existing Coronary Heart Disease.

What will it cost?
