President’s Report

As we look back over the past 12 months (April 2023 to April 2024) there have been many changes, whilst reassuringly our core activities have continued and strengthened year on year. The annual report gives us an opportunity to look back over the past year and reflect on our achievements/interactions with members.

Our current three-year BACPR strategy which was published in March 2022 was reviewed earlier this year and during the review the council felt some of the aims had already been achieved hence this was updated and is available on our website.

Promotion and Policy

Our affiliate associations continue to grow and this year we have built closer relationships with the British Association for Nursing in Cardiovascular Care (BANCC). We now have a council member sitting on our respective councils to facilitate this closer working relationship, as well as promoting each other’s webinars and development opportunities which will be of benefit to both of our memberships.

Our online course about our standards and core components was updated in line with our 4th edition BACPR Standards and Core Components (SCC) and remains free to our membership so do look online for details of this. We continue to maintain a digital presence online through social media so please follow us on X, LinkedIn and Instagram.

The BACPR continues to have a presence on national key working groups with Sally Hinton and Heather Probert, members of our council and affiliates across the 4 nations. Later this year we will also join a global forum on Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation hosted by the International Council of Cardiovascular Prevention & Rehabilitation (ICCPR) in London prior to the ESC congress.

Education

Following the appointment last year of Dr Aynsley Cowie, work is underway to increase the offering of courses in both the exercise and psychological field. ‘Implementing HIIT training’ and ‘Working with psychological factors in cardiovascular rehabilitation’ are both due to be launched later this year. A lot of work is involved in writing new courses so thank you to everyone involved.

The BACPR Specialist Exercise Instructor training continues to attract large numbers of applicants and revalidations over the year. The range of courses

Annual Report 2023 - 24 1

offered continue to be well attended with the online courses also attracting international delegates.

Aynsley, Vivienne and Penny in the Education team continue to work tirelessly to ensure the smooth running of our education programme to include both CPD courses and webinars which run throughout the year. This year has seen an increase in webinars which are offered free to members to watch live, with recordings being hosted on MedShr post event for members to watch back at their leisure. We are very grateful for all the work done by our education team and tutors throughout the year.

Member Support

The most important aspect of our strategy remains supporting our members. We continue to run Members’ hours which have increased this year. These range from general discussions led by the members and facilitated by council members to more themed sessions.

This year we have been supported by the BCS by both the work of Val Collins who has successfully been promoted to the role of Affiliate Societies Manager, and Isabella who is supporting us for the year of her management apprenticeship. Many of you will receive her weekly email updates which was adopted to allow regular updates at a predictable timeframe to make it easier to keep up to date with BACPR activities. We would like to offer our gratitude to both for their work throughout the year in supporting our membership.

Research

Over the course of the year council members have presented at a wide range of conferences including our own BACPR annual conference and Exercise Professional Group (EPG) study day as well as the British Heart Failure annual meeting, Association of Cardiovascular Nursing & Allied Professionals (ACNAP) and the British Cardiovascular Society (BCS) Congress. We have also supported members through dissemination of surveys and research links to our membership.

The New Researcher Development fund has also been relaunched with applications due to close in June highlighting our commitment to supporting research in the field of cardiovascular prevention and rehabilitation. We continue to work with BHF Clinical Research Collaborative (BHF CRC) to promote and enable funding of research projects with current discussions being around support for those new to/early in their research journey.

President’s Report

Following last year’s conference the abstracts were again published in Heart on-line thanks to Dr Tom Bulter who is currently busy planning our 2024 conference so do come and join us in Manchester!

The BACPR remains in a strong financial position year on year and the end of year accounts can be reviewed in detail in the Treasurer report. Thank you to Susan Casnello for her work in the Treasurer’s role.

We continue to benefit from the inclusion of the patient voice in many aspects of our work, and are indebted to Sarah Brown, our patient representative for her valuable contribution to many aspects of our work throughout the year.

We would also like to thank all our council members for all their hard work over the past year for the benefit of the membership. Many hours are spent by our council members on BACPR activities, often in their own time and we are gratfeful to have a wide range of professions represented within our council with many years of experience in Cardiovascular Prevention & Rehabilitation

Finally, we would like to thank Sally Hinton, our Executive Director who is the lynchpin of our association and without whom none of the above would be possible.

With very best wishes

BACPR Annual \ Conference 2023 N ‘Celebrating 30 years – building for the future’ _—

Conference Report

2023 annual conference was held at the Cardiff Marriott Hotel where we had the pleasure of listening to fantastic presentations relating to “Celebrating 30 years: building for the future”. As the name suggests, this was a very special year for BACPR with the annual conference celebrating 30 years of BACPR, having first been established as the British Association for Cardiac Rehabilitation (BACR) in 1993 as a multi-disciplinary body.

Members will be aware that the last 5 years have seen tremendous change in cardiovascular rehabilitation, with this occurring primarily during and after the COVID-19 peaks. Changes to staffing, mode of delivery, increased use of the word “hybrid” are but a few changes that members will be all too familiar with. However despite all the changes one thing remains constant and that is the need for clear, evidence based recommendations for practitioners working in cardiovascular rehabilitation. This is one of the reasons why BACPR updated its standards and core components in 2023, reflecting the changing landscape of practice and the recent developments in patient groups wo would benefit

from rehabilitation. Cardiovascular rehabilitation has come a long way, from 1950s advice consisting of bed rest and physical activity to the rise in homebased rehabilitation in 2018 and the subsequent use of online delivery following this. Coupled with huge advances in medical and pharmacological treatment, it really is an exciting landscape to work in. However, as indicated by the theme of this year’s conference, what does the future hold? We know patients are more complex, and there are seemingly more challenges to supporting them effectively. The BACPR 2023 annual conference aimed to place some of the potential future directions under the spotlight.

On Thursday 5th October, Dr Kathryn Carver gave a warm welcome to delegates highlighting the significant changes that BACPR has made to the field of cardiovascular rehabilitation over the last 30 years.

The keynote presentation was delivered by Dr Graham Thomas (GP Lead, Wales Cardiac Network) and Hassan Al-Kaabi (BHF Health and Care Lead for Wales), covering Cardiology in Wales. This was an insightful presentation, made more enjoyable by Graham’s singing! It was interesting to see the huge regional variation in rates of CVD as well as access, and also listening to both speakers talk so passionately about how this can and should be improved.

The first session on standards and guidelines included talks from Professor Patrick Doherty, Dr Alex Harrison and Leanne Macklin who provided feedback from the different nations. Sarah Cooper from NHS England talked to delegates on reducing unwanted variation in cardiovascular rehabilitation and how this could be improved through new ways of working, followed by Andrew Battersby and Janine O’Rourke talking about using the updated BACPR standards and core components in practice. This was a very interesting session, especially the case study format.

The afternoon session began with a sponsored symposium delivered by Prof Zaheer Yousef and Ms Delyth Rucarean discussing the management of heart failure across a range of ejections fractions. Heart failure remains a significant problem and with the rise of novel cardioprotective drugs classes such as SGLT2is it is important that this was discussed. Dr Rani Khatib provided an excellent session on the role of pharmacists following an MI, proceeded by Caroline Golder talking on how to integrate non-medical prescribers into a cardiopulmonary rehab programme. These sessions really highlighted the importance of bringing other disciplines into the rehab setting, and why the MDT is so essential for rehabilitation success. The last presentation was

Annual Report 2023 - 24 11

delivered by Dr Michael Foley (MRC Clinical Research Training Fellow, Imperial College) on the ORBITA-COSMIC Trial. This was a very interesting presentation with a clear clinical focus on addressing refractory angina. We will be interested to see how this develops in future years.

Before the final session the first group of posters were presented and marked. Since BACPR instigated new guidelines for writing abstracts there has been a marked increase in the quality of work submitted to conference, and it is fantastic to see so many of our members engaging with research. Our abstracts are now published in the journal Heart, meaning all those with accepted abstracts will be able to include this on their CV and reference it in any applications. There are exciting developments related to this as the next step is to convert some of these abstracts to fully-fledged grant applications.

The final session of day 1 focussed on lifestyle and risk factor management. Anne Holden spoke to the topic of integrating physical activity across healthcare systems, followed by Nicki Sumpter discussing the development and implementation of a diet and nutrition service in primary care. The final session was delivered by Dr Stefan Birkitt (Manchester Metropolitan University) on the widely anticipated guidance for implementing low-volume high intensity interval training.

Day 2 started with 3 presentations from our shortlisted finalists for best oral abstract; Joanne McAllister, Marwa Said and Dr Joanna Blackwell.

Dr Lauren Burke (Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust) spoke to delegates about compassion-focussed approaches to managing fatigue and building resilience, followed by Dr Lora Capobianco and Dr Rachel Herrick, discussing metacognitive therapy and patient distress as a barrier to engagement, respectively. All these sessions highlighted the valuable role that psychology has in supporting the patients recovery. This was followed by the second round of poster judging.

Martin Dockrell (Tobacco Control Programme Lead, Office of Health

Improvement and Disparities) delivered a very insightful presentation on the role of vaping and cardiovascular health. This was a very eye-opening presentation and perhaps was very surprising to hear the points made based on the evidence presented. Dr Tim Antiss delivered a thoroughly engaging session on motivational interviewing, only (disappointingly) making 1 reference to his time spent on Gladiators. This session was very well-received by delegates and had

Conference Report

a lot of practical advice that could be embedded into practice. The session was closed by Jeff and Sandra Davies (Gwent Defibbers) who spoke to the patient experience. This was very moving talk, and the points made by Jeff and Sandra clearly resonated with the audience.

The final session of the conference began by Dr Kathryn Carver presenting the awards for best oral abstract and best poster. Congratulations to Dr Joanna Blackwell for winning the best oral abstract titled “Exploring mindbody detachment following a cardiac event – through a Bourdieusian lens” and Amye Goddard for her poster titled “Service improvement projects evaluating the effectiveness of a pathway change for the MI/PCI patients referred to a UK cardiac rehabilitation service”. We would also like to thank all of our members who submitted work to the conference. It really is great to see so many people presenting work and we hope to grow this year after year. Prof Zaheer Yousef (BSH) Gave an update on the BSH campaign 25in25, followed by Helen Williams speaking on the topic of the challenges for tackling CVD prevention in primary care. This is a huge issue, especially when considering the massive disparities that exist in this area of healthcare, and clearly there is a lot more to be done to improve this. Richard Forsyth (Health & Care Lead [Scotland] – British Heart Foundation) delivered the final session of the programme, discussing the modernisation of cardiovascular rehabilitation and presenting the new, eagerly awaited BHF ‘What is cardiac rehabilitation’ animation. Dr Kathryn Carver formally handed over the BACPR presidency to Heather Probert. Heather is a consultant physiotherapist/therapy Lead in Cardiovascular Prevention & Rehabilitation at Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Hospitals and brings considerable experience and insight into her role as president.

Over the last year there have also been substantial developments aligned to research. The most significant perhaps is the reinstatement of the New Research Development Fund (NRDF). This fund is specifically designed to help support those who are new to research, with an award of up to £5000 available. In addition we have delivered webinars that raise awareness of the research and abstract submission process.

New Courses

The cardiovascular nutrition course was revised and delivered again, for the first time post-pandemic, in June 2023 in Manchester and was very well received.

This year we have been working hard with two groups of tutors to develop two new courses, which will run from autumn 2024:

• Working with psychosocial factors in cardiovascular rehabilitation (online)

• Implementing low-volume HIIT training into clinical practice (in person)

Team Development

For 2024/25, Aynsley Cowie continues in her role of helping with the development of the programme. Vivienne and Penny continue to provide invaluable support in keeping the team organised and in ensuring that all runs efficiently; to both a huge thank you.

Thanks also to all our tutors who worked so hard over the last year to continue to develop and deliver high quaity education and training across all the core components of CVPR.

British Heart Foundation Clinical Research Collaborative (BHF CRC) Report

BACPR BHF CRC is part of the BHF-CRC and includes a clinical study group (CSG) dedicated to advancing the CVPR research agenda and supporting BACPR members.

Throughout 2023-2024, we continued our work with the BHF CRC, providing support for ongoing research initiatives while also shaping the BACPR research direction for member benefits. The following is a summary of the activities accomplished during that twelve-month period:

BHF CRC Research Development Fund: Following the Spring 2023 call for the CRC Research Development Fund (RDF), we received three funding applications from BACPR members. After scoring and feedback, one application received a letter of support to go forward for BHF CRC RDF consideration. The BHF CRC October announcement confirmed funding for 5 projects from 14 affiliated cardiovascular societies, but unfortunately, the BACPR’s supported application was unsuccessful. There was no autumn call due to an ongoing RDF evaluation by the BHF CRC.

The two successful BACPR RDF projects from previous years have made significant progress this year. One, titled “Determinants of Progression from Phase III to IV Cardiac Rehabilitation: A Multi-centred Exploratory Study” by S. Birkett, has commenced recruitment. The second project, focusing on ischaemia and no obstructive coronary arteries (INOCA), including authors A. Cowie, S. Brown, S. Nichols, H. Humphreys, S. Dawkes etc., presented their findings at the UKSBM conference in Glasgow (2024) and are scheduled for presentation at the upcoming BSC conference in June 2024. The qualitative component of their study has been completed and published in Open Heart. Another paper, examining the capacity and capability to deliver CR to people with INOCA, is currently under review for publication in BMJ Open. Additionally, the research team has received approval to develop a grant proposal to further advance their research.

The qualitative paper can be accessed via this link: https://openheart.bmj.com/content/openhrt/11/1/e002569.full.pdf

Clinical Study Group Membership – As at 31/03/2024, the CRC group composition includes 14 members representing a range of research and clinical expertise from the BACPR council and membership. Among them, 64% currently hold positions on BACPR council.

Annual Report 2023 - 24 17

CSG research support for the BACPR membership: Throughout this year, CSG members and individuals with a research interest from the BACPR council, collaborated to advance the BACPR research agenda and enhance support for the membership. This led to consensus on promoting three priority research themes from BACPR’s published list of top ten research priorities, reinstating BACPR’s New Researcher Development Fund (NRDF), hosting a webinar on writing research abstracts and funding applications, and proposing two forthcoming research mentoring initiatives which are currently in the final stages of development. One of these mentoring initiatives will support the NRDF for 2024.

BACPR Website Research: The website’s research priorities section was updated in early 2024 to highlight three key themes within CVPR research: multimorbidity, remote delivery and psychosocial support. Each theme offers example research questions and suggested activities to assist members.

Cochrane Review - Interventions for Alcohol Abstinence: Six members of BACPR have received supported from experienced Cochrane researchers to complete a Cochrane systematic review examining interventions for alcohol abstinence in people with atrial fibrillation. The team are currently working on the systematic literature review of the existing evidence base and data extraction.

‘Optimising Physical Activity and Exercise Throughout the Pathway: from diagnosis to return to play’

This year’s annual BACPR EPG Study Day is due to be held in-person on 10th May 2024 at Aston University, Birmingham with the theme ‘Optimising Physical Activity and Exercise Throughout the Pathway: from diagnosis to return to play’ . Taking into consideration the profile of delegates who attend the study day which includes exercise professionals from different professional backgrounds (physiotherapists, specialist exercise instructors and exercise physiologists), working across the entire pathway of cardiovascular rehabilitation including core/early rehabilitation, long-term maintenance and research settings, planning a programme that includes speakers and a theme that will have relevance for all was the ultimate goal.

Professor Aneil Malhotra will provide an opening keynote session on ‘Inherited cardiomyopathies – from diagnosis to management’ and staying in the early stages of assessment and management, Professor David Oxborough will be speaking about ‘Echocardiography for determining exertion-related risk’. Turning attention then to the early delivery of exercise and physical activity, Helen Alexander will complement Professor Malhotra’s opening keynote with a session on ‘Exercise considerations for those with inherited cardiomyopathies’. Lucy Gardiner will be speaking about ‘Inequalities in pulmonary rehabilitation’ allowing us to learn lessons from another population to ensure our exercise interventions are accessible to all. Lesley Simpson will then invite us to start thinking about the onward stages of rehabilitation with her

session ‘Could it be magic? How to motivate and engage people to not only be more active, but to stick with it’.

Bringing our focus then to the later stage of the exercise and physical activity rehabilitation pathway, Professor Malhotra will provide a closing keynote ‘Return to play’ and our final speaker Dr. Tasuku Terada will close the day by inviting us to consider the wider long-term benefits of physical activity and exercise with his session ‘The effects of cardiovascular rehabilitation on mental health and quality of life’. With AGMs and updates from ACPICR, BACPR EIN and BASES, and a fantastic collection of diverse and good quality oral and poster abstracts submitted this year, BACPR EPG Study Day remains a popular event in the exercise professional’s calendar for thought-provoking CPD and networking.

Exercise Instructor Network (EIN) Report

The EIN is an informal subgroup of the BACPR, formed to support graduates from the BACPR Specialist Cardiac Exercise Instructor Qualification. The EIN group is led by a committee of dedicated BACPR Exercise Instructors. Members of the EIN committee contribute to the BACPR Exercise Instructor training steering committee and the BACPR Exercise Professional Group.

The EIN Committee currently consists of:

Vicky Hatch Karen Deery Dr Sheona McHale Lorraine Richardson Emma Spalding Toby Whitehead

The committee meets regularly online to promote the interests, knowledge, and professional profile of BACPR Specialist Cardiac Exercise (Phase IV) qualified exercise instructors.

BACPR EIN activity over the last 12 months includes:

• Free online network hours offering the opportunity for advice and discussion around any current issues, challenges or general cardiovascular topics impacting upon long term (Phase IV) exercise programme delivery. During the latter part of 2023/early 2024 these meetings focused upon each of the four devolved nations of the UK.

• With new members now on the committee, plans will progress to create a more visible and supportive platform for specialist cardiac exercise instructors on social media where information and ideas can be shared. This is likely to include a specific area within the current BACPR Medshr platform.

• The EIN continues to actively encourage and support instructors wishing to apply for the Advanced Exercise Professional Award, with guidance around specific experience and skills required for a successful application and assessment. BACPR Exercise Professionals Group (EPG) Position Statement 2019 (Version 3) remains the overarching guidance for eligibility and includes the details of minimum qualifications and competences.

• Ongoing advice, information and signposting to any physical activity and exercise related questions from graduates of the BACPR Specialist Cardiac Exercise qualification or BACPR member.
