Welcome to the website of the Chartered Physiotherapists in Cardiac Rehabilitation.
About ACPICR
The Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in Cardiac Rehabilitation is a national body mainly comprising of physiotherapists who work in cardiac rehabilitation.
Formed in 1995, the ACPICR has over 200 members and welcomes other professionals who are working in or interested in the exercise/physical activity components of cardiac rehabilitation.
The ACPICR provides, in association with the British Association of Cardiac Rehabilitation (BACR), high standard education via well established and well evaluated post graduate courses. We publish Standards, Competency and Peer Review documents to promote and facilitate clinical excellence within our field of expertise.
The ACPICR facilitates the exchange of information, ideas and research findings to members via networks between cardiac rehabilitation services and also via links with other cardiac organizations (such as British Cardiac Society, BACR, British Heart Foundation, British Society for Heart Failure).
We publish a newsletter twice yearly to inform our members of ACPICR activity including work in progress, courses and reviews of recent events. Back to Top
