What are the exclusion criteria?
In order to be referred to us for treatment, the patient must:
- have a Body Mass Index of 40 or less
- be 18 years old or over
- not require complex rehabilitation or have a chronic disease that would require immediate post-operative care in an ITU
- not have sickle cell anaemia, renal failure or have had a cardiac arrest in the last six months or have a pacemaker fitted
As long as the condition is managed, and the patient is stable upon admission for treatment, we can accept patients with:
- Angina
- Asthma
- Atrial Fibrillation
- Diabetes
- High blood pressure
- Parkinson’s Disease
- Dementia (patients are accepted and appropriate facilities are in place but each patient will be assessed by the team)
