Cardiovascular nurses community
Cardiovascular nurses have long been at the forefront of innovation and role enhancement, and so we continue with this dedicated hub.
This community can be used as both a support tool for your everyday practice and for your career development.
Cardiovascular disease covers the spectrum of nursing practice, including acute care, emergency departments and critical care units, supporting community-based patients with hypertension, arrhythmias or heart failure, providing diagnostic services, rehabilitation or palliative care and tackling the wider risks of disease via a public health role.
Whatever your present job – however you see your future unfolding – this network is a dynamic resource that will be expanded and updated daily. That means each time you visit this network you’ll have access to:
- all the latest news and events
- key protocols and government documents
- learning materials
- examples of best practice
- forums, discussion groups and interactive support from leading experts and frontline nurses in the field.
