Greater Manchester ICD Support Group
The Greater Manchester ICD Support Group was founded in 2026 by ICD patients, specialist nurses, and Manchester hospitals, with NW Hearts Charity helping to unite and support people living with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD).
The group supports and connects people with ICDs, offering a welcoming space to share experiences, build confidence, and access reliable information during the challenges of living with an ICD.
Family members and carers are encouraged to join meetings and connect with others who understand the challenges of supporting someone with a heart condition.
With NW Hearts Charity’s support, the group holds regular meetings across Greater Manchester, featuring clinicians and patients discussing key issues for ICD users.
Meetings are informative and inclusive, encouraging open discussion and connection, helping to build a stronger ICD community in Greater Manchester.
The ICD Support Group is open to any patient with an ICD (and their family or carers) living in Greater Manchester.
- 4 in-person meetings each year, rotating between Wythenshawe & MiddletonÂ
- Day and evening sessions, with pre-recorded sessions available online.
