Case manage patients and own clinical workload. Provide telephone support to patients upon discharge from acute care. Undertake a comprehensive assessment of cardiac patients by using investigative and analytical skills to formulate individual management and treatment plans. Provide counselling, goal setting on risk factor modification and interpretation of clinical information (e.g., Echocardiogram reports) to enable risk stratification for appropriate delivery of care. Supervise the Cardiac Rehabilitation exercise programme alongside the Exercise Specialist. Provide group education to patients attending the supervised classes. Communicate efficiently and effectively with the wider MDT, Consultants and GPs.
