Aims
The aim of this module is to develop knowledge and understanding of cardiac care in the adult patient, and help to prepare health professionals to manage the care of the cardiac patient.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Demonstrate knowledge, understanding and application in their sphere of cardiac care.
2.
Critically appraise and apply evidence based cardiac care.
3.
Critically analyse complex clinical data in order to formulate an evidence based plan of care.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:
This course will enable participants to develop their knowledge and skills so that they are able to provide high quality care that is based upon sound clinical judgement and robust evidence 1) The evolution of cardiovascular care and the role of evidence 2) Advanced anatomy and physiology of the heart and circulation 3) Physical assessment of the cardiac patient 4) Haemodynamic assessment and intervention 5) Single and 12 lead ECG interpretation 6) Introduction to biochemistry and haematology 7) Cardiac pharmacology and patient concordance 8) Care of the patient post cardiac intervention 9) Managing patients with Acute and chronic heart failure and the use of device therapy 10) Advanced life support 11) Promoting healthy behaviour change through cardiac rehabilitation and secondary prevention 12) Supporting patients from BAME backgrounds to navigate the healthcare systems 13) Caring for patients who are nearing the end of life and supporting grieving families.
This course can be accessed by nurses and allied health care professionals whose primary role is to care for patients with cardiac disease. The module will enhance the students clinical practice by building on their previous knowledge and experience and provide them with the knowledge and skills necessary to provide high quality, evidence based care . Participants will be encouraged to deepen their knowledge on more complex cardiac clinical practice whilst strengthening their skills/ practice towards becoming autonomous in their clinical practice.
Evidence of clinical competence will be documented in the practice assessment document, which will be verified by a practice assessor and must be successfully completed before credit can be released. The competency document is based upon the Core Curriculum for Cardiovascular Nurses and Allied Professionals set out by the Association on Cardiovascular Nursing and Allied Professions (ACNAP) (2023).
