The CCNAP Be Guidelines Smart Toolkit was developed to ensure that all nurses and allied professionals across Europe are trained to use the latest ESC Guidelines.
As part of this toolkit, CCNAP organised a Train the Trainers Workshop in Sophia Antipolis, France, 7-8 December 2017.
Session Information
Learning Objectives
The workshop was designed to train selected nurses and allied professions how to use the latest ESC Guidelines, primarily focussing on the 2016 ESC Guidelines on Heart Failure, on Cardiovascular Prevention & on Dyslipidaemias.
40 nurses represented 21 different countries. The participants were made aware of the derivative products of the Guidelines and discussed how to cascade guidelines information in their respective countries.
