About the toolkit
The ACNAP Young Community (YoCo) was created in 2019 to support the needs of the young community of nurses and allied professionals by transferring knowledge and expertise within ACNAP and the ESC, and by supporting them within the cardiovascular field, whether in a clinical, educational or research setting.
In response to feedback from YoCo members, particularly for early-career researchers or in the clinical practice field, the YoCo Committee launched the 'YoCo Toolkit' project. Originally led by Lien Desteghe (YoCo Committee Chair 2018-20) and Ana Filipa Gomes (former YoCo Ambassador 2018-20, Portugal), the project aimed to create an online platform where all relevant information on research design and methods, career development, and evidence-based practice could be assembled and accessible in one place.
The YoCo Toolkit is regularly updated by the ACNAP YoCo Committee and YoCo National Contacts who willingly volunteered for this project.
Aim
The toolkit serves as a valuable resource tailored for nurses and allied professionals entering the cardiovascular field. The purpose of the toolkit is to:
- Gather key scientific content for use in research, education, clinical practice and career development
- Organise content around key topics identified by our Young Community
- Consolidate information into a comprehensive all-in-one resource, making the Toolkit unique
- Be in constant evolution as it is updated on a regular basis, making it a very useful evidence-based practice guide
