This important national conference provides essential updates for current and aspiring nurse prescribers in cardiology and cardiovascular care. Through national updates and practical case studies you will hear from expert speakers on how to develop and maintain prescribing competence and how to develop effectiveness in post qualification practice.

The conference will also reflect on the impact of Covid-19 and consider the impact on prescribing and medication in patients with cardiovascular disease.
“There are around 7.6 million people living with heart and circulatory diseases in the UK - an ageing and growing population and improved survival rates from heart and circulatory events could see these numbers rise still further.”
“Maximum use should be made of the skills of the wider heart team including specialist nurses, pharmacists and cardiac physiologists running virtual and face to face clinics.”
“Cardiovascular medications are a leading cause of medication harm, particularly in older adults, and should be the focus of harm mitigation strategies.”
