THE Chinese community in Sedgefield are having their questions on heart disease answered by specialist nurses from the primary care trust.
Leaders from the borough's 230 Chinese residents have linked up with the trust's public involvement manager Heather Inglis and resident Michael White to examine health needs.
David Chow, from the Chinese Association North-East, told the primary care trust that certain groups, particularly the elderly, wanted to know more about heart disease and how to reduce the risk of heart problems.
Now specialist nurses Karen Reid and Jayne Nicholson will meet with community leaders and design special advice and information sessions based on the cultural and physical needs of the group.
