North West London To try and identify local barriers and share good practice, we have been regularly reviewing our cardiac rehabilitation (CR) services in North West London. Through this process we hope to increase the average uptake in a step-wise fashion from 50–60% to the national target of 85%.1 Lack of appropriately funded services and low staffing levels are real problems across the sector, unfortunately. Nevertheless, some innovative approaches to CR are taking place. The uptake of CR services after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) for myocardial infarction has increased from 26% to 84% at Imperial College Healthcare
