The Gamesley and Glossop District Health Group is part of a network of groups for people with heart problems, supported by the British Heart Foundation.
The groups, which are run by their members, also offer support to partners, carers and the family of people who suffer heart problems.
Health support groups are self-help groups that compliment the services offered by health professionals, and offer support and advice from people who have experienced similar problems.
The group aims to support its members by maintaining contact and offering support to people with heart problems, and to their partners, relatives and other carers. The group aims to provide emotional support for patients and partners.
The group meets once per month, normally at Gamesley Community Centre. The meetings are mixed – with information available on local groups and services which may be of help to members.
We have visitors to the meetings who speak on a range of subjects, including local health services, diet and lifestyle advice. Speakers have included the Patient and Liason Service (PALS) and a Cardiac Nurse from Tameside Coronary Care Unit.
The group has also organised outings, which have included a day out on a canal barge along the Peak Canal.

The 6-week programme is delivered by NHS Tameside and Glossop and is a FREE confidential weight loss support programme. You can attend if you are aged 16 and over and have a Body Mass Index of 25+.
