Heart to Heart (Heart2Heart)
This leaflet explains more about the group which is in Partnership with the Royal Devon and Exeter NHS Hospital
Who, and what, is Heart2Heart?
Heart2Heart is for anyone living with heart failure, along with their partners, family members, or carers. The sessions are run by specialist heart nurses, and the Hospiscare team, with support from other professionals like physiotherapists, and occupational therapists.
It’s a five-session group running over a 10-week period where you can learn more about heart failure, treatments, and day-to-day living. Each session includes practical tips, open discussions, and the chance to share experiences with others who truly understand. There’s also time for questions and even some gentle relaxation if you’d like.
Why would joining the Heart2Heart session help me?
Being told you have heart failure, for some, can feel worrying and bring up lots of questions. Heart2Heart is here to give you clear information, support, and reassurance. It’s a safe and welcoming space to talk, learn new ways to cope, and feel less alone.

The sessions take place face-to-face in a relaxed and safe setting at the Exeter hospice, just across the car park for the Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital. You’ll receive details of the venue in your invitation letter.
When are the Heart2Heart sessions held?
