Find out how cardiac care has changed since the 1960s in this free online talk. Professor David Thompson will explain how the role of the cardiac nurse has evolved from one of “human monitor” to providing holistic care. Today, nurses promote heart health and improve health literacy, support disease management and work to reduce health inequalities.



In the 1960s, cardiac nursing was a physical and technical job. Over the years, nursing has expanded to encompass the psychological, social and spiritual aspects of care, and to include families and carers in decision-making. Yet there are new challenges facing nursing: the ageing population, social isolation and multiple conditions. How can strong leadership, education and training support today’s cardiac nurses to work collaboratively and effectively to ensure better patient care?
