About the Role:
The Cardiac and Heart Function Rehabilitation Programs provide an inpatient and outpatient service to patients with cardiovascular disease and heart failure (including cardiothoracic surgical patients). The main role of a registered nurse in the program is to provide high quality care, advanced nursing assessment skills, education, support and counselling to individuals and patient groups at risk of or affected by cardiovascular disease and heart failure. The program works alongside a multidisciplinary team utilising their skills, to deliver a holistic model of care. Education around optimal self-management principles is provided, using and supported by evidence-based practices. The service is delivered in the inpatient and outpatient setting, in the early stages after discharge and during the entirety of the patient's attendance at cardiac or heart function rehabilitation.
