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.
We will be sharing some new AHP SOP’s with our members soon!

GROUP 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.

Glenfield Hospital
I’m the lead structural heart nurse at Glenfield Hospital in Leicester. I have over 25 years experience of working in cardiac care. In this time I have developed a passion for structural heart interventions from TAVI to PFO closures and have helped drive efficiency and quality of care for our patients. When I’m not in the lab you’ll find me in the swimming pool.

Liverpool Heart & Chest Hospital
I’m a CTO lead nurse and Practice Educator at Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital (LHCH), with a passion for advancing AHP education and building collaborative, high-performing cath lab teams. Over the past few years, I’ve worked closely with the BCIS AHP Working Group, contributing to national conferences and leading initiatives that spotlight the vital role of nurses, physiologists, and radiographers in interventional cardiology.
In 2025, I launched Beyond The Wire Media—a platform dedicated to sharing stories from the frontlines of cardiology. From conference floors to cath lab corridors, I aim to capture the energy, insights, and voices of AHPs shaping the future of heart care.
Coming soon: a podcast where interventional cardiology meets real conversation—unscripted, honest, and straight from the heart.

Research Nurse Representative
Royal Sussex County Hospital
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.
