However, somepatients have access to various therapies through linksbetween voluntary services and patient and carergroups.3 Working with patients: patient-centredcarePatient and carer involvement in cardiac servicesIn 2003, the British Cardiovascular Society (BCS)established a broad-based group to represent theinterests and aspirations of cardiac patients and theircarers. The Cardiovascular Care Partnership UK (CCPUK) was developed as an affiliated group of BCS in 2004to act as the patient arm of cardiology. Trustees aredrawn from various cardiac patient and carer charities,including the Children’s Heart Federation (CHF), theGUCH Association, the British Heart Foundation(BHF) Heart Support Group network, thecardiovascular network patient and carer partnershipsof England, and various healthcare professionalscommitted to patient empowerment.The CCP UK is represented on the patient involvementpanel of the Royal College of Physicians (RCP), the JointSpecialty Committee for Cardiology, the board ofMyocardial Infarction Audit Project (MINAP), Societyfor Cardiothoracic Surgery (SCTS), Department ofHealth’s (DH) working groups on cardiovascularmedicine and stroke, BHF, National Audit of CardiacRehabilitation (NACR), NICE consultations, NSFchapter groups for GUCH and arrhythmias, and theNHS Improvement Heart team.Patient-centred care in integrated care pathwaysA formal description of a patient’s view of the essentialelements of the care pathway is given in the Fifth reporton the provision of services for patients with heartdisease. 4 Among the issues raised were: involvement in decisions regarding treatment receipt of appropriate information time to interpret and reflect before decisions aremade partnership with professionals in their care support offered earlier in care pathways promotion of cardiac rehabilitation and supportgroups.Patients help to define care pathways through theirinvolvement with quality in practice teams working in50 C○ Royal College of Physicians 2013
