Highlights the need for advanced education and training for cardiac nurses in Hong Kong to meet complex care demands.
Cardiac nursing in Hong Kong is well established and highly regarded. There is, however, a need for cardiac nurses to extend and expand their knowledge and skills base to fulfil ever more complex and challenging roles in acute care, rehabilitation and secondary prevention. With the advent of advanced and specialist nursing roles even more emphasis is being placed on the importance of education, training and research. This will not only enhance the professional recognition and status of cardiac nurses but, more importantly, ensure that they are equipped to better serve the patients and their families in hospital and in the community.
