As a senior cardiac nurse, I have a particular interest in complex angioplasty, and also a passion for team education and training. In particular, human factors, crisis management and dealing with complications rate high on my list of training that should be available for all the cath lab MDT. In this way we empower the team not only to understand everyone’s role, but also to create an open learning environment in which to work. My interests also include cath lab efficiency and improvements, as not only do we improve the patient experience, but we can generate greater staff engagement and satisfaction.
