The BACPR
The British Association for Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation (BACPR) is the association representing cardiac rehabilitation professionals, which sets the standards by which clinicians work to in the UK. The new standards and core components from the BACPR (2023) acknowledge the NACR as a minimum standard and core component, and recommend it for evaluating CR programmes.
BACPR Standards
