The clinical role and educational preparation of heart failure nurses across Europe. HF, heart failure; HFN, heart failure nurse; MDT, multidisciplinary team. Aims To describe the clinical practice and educational preparation of heart failure (HF) nurses across Europe and determine the key differences between countries.
Evidence indicates that patients receiving care from stroke specialized nurses, including nurse-led stroke prevention, show better outcomes. Utilizing stroke guidelines and scientific statements, a standardized practice of individualizing stroke-patienteducation was developed.
Background:A mandatory educational requirement for nurses and staff at designated stroke centers existed within a health system, but the process varied across sites. Staff selected their own educational content, leading to minimal engagement and irrelevant content.
However, not all institutions can staff stroke-trained nurses 24/7. To address increasing after-hours DTP times, radiology staff nurses designed and implemented an institution-specific, comprehensive educational stroke training program for all night shift ED nurses.
Background:After discharge can be a vulnerable time for stroke patients and their caregivers. Nurse navigators have been utilized in other specialties resulting in positive impacts on patientcare. Nurse navigators are becoming an important part of Stroke Center teams.
The following year, the RNs all reviewed a handout on the hospital’s SIPP which included “Do’s and Don’ts” of documentation and participated in a Skills Day where an educational game was utilized identify wounds and appropriate dressing types. Consistent Auditing and feedback also improves patientcare and staff accountability.
This team also provides in-person educational in-services to units where gaps in our data metrics have occurred. We have seen increased confidence with our inpatient units nursing staff in activating the stroke code immediately as soon as signs and symptoms of stroke are observed.
Background and Issue:Delivering efficient comprehensive stroke care can be challenging as there are various interdisciplinary team members and factors impacting the outcome of each stroke patient. The issue identified was the lack of advanced practice nursing (APN) on the stroke team.
This year’s program, “Global Echocardiography: Innovations in Diagnosis and Beyond,” is described as an educational experience gathering global experts and enthusiasts in echocardiography, hosted by the largest global organization for cardiovascular ultrasound imaging serving physicians, sonographers, nurses, and scientists.
During the event, to take place at the Signia by Hilton Atlanta, innovators will gather in one room throughout the conference, gaining insights into regulatory approvals, clinical trials, market adoption, and the integration of novel technologies into patientcare.

The course and certification are appropriate for providers at any stage of clinical experience including physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, pharmacists, diabetologists and dietitians looking to take a deeper dive into cardiometabolic health. to hold the CCHP credential.
An interdisciplinary initiative was launched that engaged stakeholders from patient safety, the stroke team, and nursingeducation. The number of patients receiving intervention quadrupled by the end of quarter four. Nurses identified stroke symptoms and had gained the confidence to independently activate a code stroke.
One promising strategy is the formation of creative partnerships between patients and their healthcare teams. We can revolutionize patientcare and significantly reduce cardiometabolic risk by fostering collaborative relationships and leveraging diverse expertise and experiences.
Background:In 2004, Kansas City nurses partnered with the American Stroke Association to provide stroke education to health care providers and the community. Over time, the goal shifted to stroke systems of care. Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP57-AWP57, February 1, 2024.
