Is there any group in Perth, Scotland that has people with serious heart / Kidney issues. Looking to talk to someone like me.

Is there any group of people that meet to support each other through their illness. I live in the Perthshire area.

I don’t know the answer, but here in England my local council has a comprehensive directory of this sort of organisation so perhaps your area does too.

Hi Curryandchips,

Please look at the following link. I believe you may be looking for something similar and it is in your area. It seems primarily for stroke sufferers however, they do mention the chest and heart. There is a phone number for them which you can call or alternatively send them a message and see if this is what you’re looking for.

All the best.

Might your cardiologists nurse at your hospital be able to help....know of a group? Worth asking. We have one locally but still too far away for me to use as I do not have a car now and the bus is infrequent to that town.

Worth a try! Thanks

Hi I like yourself I have always wondered if there was a group near me that I could talk about what I feel without putting the burden on my family but so far I haven't found one, I stay just outside Glasgow so it's quite a bit away from Perth. Char

I'm sure I replies to your post, but it does not seem to be here - perhaps I went down a rabbit hole and forgot to press REPLY. Have you seen this kidneycareuk.org and there are several listed here pkavs.org.uk/local-support/ My local library has lists of help goups .Hope you find somewhere.
