We are very proud to introduce you to our passionate and skilled team. Our qualified team have a varied and diverse background; from sports science graduates to nurses, from dietitians to a GP and a psychologist. Healthy Hearts staff also undertake a variety of roles, some more community focussed and others more clinical.
Healthy Hearts is part of Thrive Tribe, which is a specialist healthy lifestyle service provider. The organisation was set up by a small team of NHS public health staff in 2008 and has since become a respected provider of healthy lifestyle services in London, Suffolk and Luton. You may well know us locally as the provider of Kick-It Stop Smoking Service. You can read more about the organisation at www.thrivetribe.org.uk
