Examining the Clinical Role and Educational Preparation of Heart Failure Nurses Across Europe. A Survey of the Heart Failure Association (HFA) of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and the Association of Cardiovascular Nursing and Allied Profes
The role of the HF nurse varies across Europe, however involvement in patient education, symptom monitoring and follow-up remain core to their practice. In specific activities including the prescribing of HF medications and involvement in invasive monitoring, practice has advanced with collaboration in the multidisciplinary team. Consequently, harmonization of education, training and career pathways are required to standardize HF care aligned with expert guidelines across Europe.
