Our patients' hearts are in good hands with Cardiac Investigations Unit Registered Nurse Stacey on the job! 🫶👩⚕️
"This role is really diverse, working across recovery, preadmission clinic, the TOE [Transoesophageal Echocardiogram] department which involves looking at the inside of a heart through a scope, as well as working in the Cath Lab, EP [Electrophysiology], and angiograms," Stacey explains
"We do a lot of planned care, however we also do on call if we get an emergent procedure through the night or on the weekend, maybe someone might be having a heart attack and the Cath Lab will be activated to come and assist with the procedure.
"We work very closely with the consultants, scientists and radiographers as one big team. Someone could come down our corridor very unwell and by the time the team is finished with them in an hour and a half, they would be sitting up and smiling, thanking us."
