The BCIS AHP Working Group was initiated in 2012 with the goal of providing high quality, focused education for nurses, radiographers and physiologists working in interventional cardiac catheter labs around the country. The aim of the group remains to provide AHPs with the necessary tools for them to continue to develop their practice, and improve the service offered to our patients, by learning from each other. To achieve this, we hold a yearly summer conference (face to face and online) specifically for AHPs, where staff of all levels come together to learn new skills, share techniques and discuss the latest developments in interventional cardiology. In addition, the working group actively participate in the yearly ACI conference, providing an AHP viewpoint and delivering specific AHP sessions for BCIS members.

Chair
Dorset County Hospital
I found a passion for Interventional Cardiology when I began working in the Cardiac Catheter Lab at DCH in 2007.
I am particularly interested in complex PCI, Microvascualr Angina and Coronary Sinus Reducers.
My hunger for education and the emphasis of this on the AHP team has been something that I have always strived for. The engagement of the entire MDT in a Cath Lab has been proven to aid success in procedures, as well as promoting patient safety and efficiencies.

Northampton General Hospital
Hi, I am the Specialist Nurse Angiographer at Northampton Heart Centre which is part of the University Hospitals of Northamptonshire NHS Group. I started in the Cath Lab as a total novice in 2008 and have worked from a junior staff nurse through the ranks to become the Cath Lab Manager in 2013. This leads me to my current position as Nurse Angiographer which I started in 2021. I have a range of experiences from setting up new services to managing and training staff in a range of pre, post and peri routine and complex PCI (& pacing). I am currently working towards my MSc in QI as my passion lies within teamworking and leadership and I hope to utilise my specialist role to ensure continuous quality improvements in the interventional cardiology patient’s journey.

Physiologists Course Subgroup Lead
Royal United Hospital Bath
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.
