UKCPA - Cardiovascular Community

Overview

The UKCPA Cardiovascular community is one of our largest. Its Committee includes the sub-committee of Heart Failure and all committee members are leaders in the area of cardiovascular practice. 

For many years the Committee have been involved in several profession-wide initiatives, influencing practice all over the UK and internationally.

Our Cardiovascular experts were instrumental in pioneering the development of professional frameworks and resources to guide career advancement, including the professional curriculum in the area of cardiovascular practice. 

Members of the Cardiovascular Committee and Heart Failure Committee are regularly invited to talk about cardiovascular and heart failure medicine at national and international conferences, and regularly provide their expertise to national guideline and appraisal consultations from NICE.
